I reckon he's using the proper (curved) symbol for the apostrophe in his handle, which is not the same as the symbol typically used for apostrophe on a computer (straight).

Honestly, I think people are adding a space before or after the apostrophe. As soon as you’re off by one letter/symbol/space the help list pulls those names out of the list. It’s an apostrophe replacing letters, so no spaces. Just like “can’t”, “don’t” or “becausen’t”. Nothing mystical or magical.

^^^^^^^ This is what the system sees if I type it in with all lower case letters and no space between the p and the apostrophe...despite my typing in cap'n smudge

Which is why I've had to copy and paste. I haven't come across this issue with any other user thus far.

I have a job. I mean sure, I’ve moved up to management but they are paying me like I’m doing work so…

I’m glad there weren’t computers when I was in school, I’d have failed even worse.

Maybe he's trying the 'Dance Dance Revolution' workout program?

*** back when it was popular, I recall seeing quite a few accounts of people successfully losing weight and getting into better shape solely from playing DDR regularly.

So, I'm guessing back in the day "Gmpa" was okay?

Mmmkay.

Second class seamen seem to have a harder time starting a family.

Yep. You guys are single quoting instead of apostrophetizing. Learn English.
