My ex-wife was a Cambridge graduate, and would never condone the 
improper use of apostrophes.  If I were to quote her, it is not 
preservation that is important, but proper adherence to the "Queen's 
English".
We here in the US have taken many liberties over the years - beginning 
with the thing about the Boston Tea event - however, I do believe that 
saving a keystroke to modify "Don't" to "Dont" is a simplification that 
we can all do without - I just wonder how many apostrophes were 
preserved in this correspondence - where do they collect all those 
preserved apostrophes?? :-)

73,
