Although the ugliness argument is primarily about the grave accent, it is also 
about the apostrophe. With most fonts “There’s” looks nicer than “There's”, and 
it’s better typography in English. Either character will do, but there seems 
little point uglifying the former into the latter.

To try to avoid spending more of our time about whether to use straight or 
curved apostrophes, I reworded the commentary to omit the apostrophes. I 
tightened it up a bit while I was at it.
