apostrophe

As nouns the difference between metaphor and apostrophe

is that metaphor is the use of a word or phrase to refer to something that it isn’t, invoking a direct similarity between the word or phrase used and the thing described, but in the case of English without the words like or as, which would imply a simile while apostrophe is the text character ’, which serves as a punctuation mark in various languages and as a diacritical mark in certain rare contexts.
