It's bad enough that software programmers still don't handle Irish surnames like mine successfully in many of their database coding assignments, despite almost 60 years of research into delimiters and character strings.
If people had trouble distinguishing between plural and possessive before, they're only going to have more trouble now.

In my night class at a local community college is a fellow with the fine Irish name of O'Flaherty. Alas, the college computer will render it only as Oflaherty.
Shame.
Mack, evil, wicked, public-school teacher by day, super-golly adjunct college instructor at night.
