Heya,

So, I am by no means an English person, but I'm sure there are some of you wonderful English specialists out there somewhere... I hope?

Anyways, in a recent discussion, a friend and I debated whether or not it was proper to use apostrophes after a noun to indicate action. For example, would it be grammatically correct to say that "Johnny's going to the bathroom", as opposed to "Johnny is going to the bathroom"? I've tried searching the internet for an answer but I am yet to find anything that definitively supports or denies this as a legitimate use of the apostrophe.

Thanks
