The Instant Apostrophe

Have you ever had a hard time getting an apostrophe while typing on your iPad? Because I have.

Initially I did it the long way by hitting the “.?123″ button. Eventually I realized I could just press and hold the comma / exclamation point button for a slightly faster selection. It still took some time though, and the few seconds it took to bring up the apostrophe was enough to break the flow of typing. But then I discovered a shortcut where an apostrophe appears if you tap the comma / exclamation button and slide your finger up a little before releasing. Tada. Instant apostrophe.
