One owner and missing letters

C13 · One owner and missing letters

Complete fictional source

In a fictional lost-and-found corner, one character named Sam owns a blue pouch. The draft sign reads ‘Dont move Sams pouch.’ The intended meaning is ‘Do not move the pouch that belongs to Sam.’ The edit can use ‘don’t’ to show a missing letter in ‘do not’ and ‘Sam’s’ to show one owner. The source does not ask a child to reveal real belongings or a surname. A picture description shows one pouch and a label saying SAM. A reader can edit the supplied meaning without guessing ownership. The contraction and possessive apostrophes do different jobs.
