We step into murkier waters with clues that don't just skip the apostrophe but also the space between words: redhead = R, midnight = G etc. As Alberich says in this excellent article, a sort of justification can be found in that "we talk about the "Jones house" to mean the house of the Joneses or the "Federer serve" to mean Federer's serve". ![]() "East End" isn't the grammatical equivalent of "East's End", but many don't object to it.
