Officially, the US Board of Geographic Names does not recognize ANY punctuation marks in placenames. So, for example, Hawai'i becomes Hawaii, St. Louis becomes St Louis (or Saint Louis), Watling's Island becomes Watlings Island, and so on.
The reason is that punctuation marks on maps often look like something else, like a well, a benchmark, or a town.

St. Louis du HA! HA!
(I kid you not, a town in Quebec, Canada.)
St. John NB, Canada
St. John's NFLD, Canada (2 of them)
St. Jean, Quebec
St. Thomas, Ontario
the list goes on......
Also, if you include hyphens as a punctuation mark, then this will be quite high

I do not know exactly how many, but there are far more than that. Consider these cities denoted with punctuation:
St. Louis, MO, USA
St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada
Wilkes-Barre, PA, USA
St. John's, NL, Canada
St. George's, Grenada

i'm truly interested in technology (and with any success will bypass my exams and be prevalent to varsity of drugs in June) and he (as because of the you) is someone i look as a lot as. i'm not quite particular that this sentence is sensible, because you used 'he', yet who's 'he' in this sentence? in the different case i assumed that this became nicely written. solid success!
