Aside from the fact that I didn't write this, I disagree - if anything, the
apostrophe should be removed from both. The noun-verb contraction would
become something of an unclassifiable word, a verb form perhaps, and the
<irregular> possessive pronouns are different enough from their other two
forms that that would cause a grammatical change as opposed to a simple
othographic one.
