[closed] Apostrophe in a street name?

0

I had occasion to enter a street name that has an apostrophe, and could not get it to take. The street's name is "Morgan's Way", and I got it directly from the street sign. I ended up using "Morgans Way", but feel it should be corrected. Is there any way to use an apostrophe in the street name?

Strange! I just did a search on "apostrophe", and see that "Apostrophes are now working". Went back to the street in question, and tried adding the apostrophe. It worked. I used the iD editor to add it. I may have been using a different editor whenit didn't tak the apostrophe.

Please ignore my question.
