And it's just not 's, it's contractions too that don't work in the label/tag cloud widget

So no "can't" in the labels. And no "don't" or "didn't" either. And forget about "huntin'" and "fishin," although I would probably not use those as labels.

However, this goes against the basic idea of folksonomies.

See Daniel Pink's New York Times article for more information on folksonomy.

Yep, this Label/Tag Cloud widget hates apostrophes

I tested the Label/Tag Cloud with three new apostrophe words and word phrases. It looks like whenever I use an apostrophe in the label, the animated label/tag cloud loses the words.

This means that I can't use apostrophes in labels, which means that the tags will not be possessive.

Also, it means that I will only be able to select some labels to be shown in the cloud widget. I will not be able to have the widget use all the labels. This means more management of the widget on my part.
