Recently spotted in a motorway service station on the M6. The 'e' is not hidden.

That looks like an iPhone fail to me. It tries to put an apostrophe in every time you type 'ill'.

It annoys the st out of me when it puts one in 'hell', resulting in sentences like "What the he'll...?"

I don't have such a problem with this as, without the apostrophe, the sense can get a bit lost.

That's a pathetic effort.

I wouldn't employ him.
