<human>: I've always been a little confused about what the difference is between a hyphen and an apostrophe. Can you help?
<bot>: The main difference between a hyphen (-) and an apostrophe (') in English is that a hyphen is used to join two words or parts of words together, while an apostrophe is used to indicate missing letters or syllables. For example, the word 'cat' would be written as cat-apostrophe, with the hyphen indicating that the letter 'a' has been omitted.
