Technically the apostrophe (single quotes) is needed and correct in the following line, is it not?

Wie geht's?



Perhaps someone German can say if the current German Dictionary is acceptable or not and if there are any better hunspell German dictionaries we should be using instead.
I am a German native speaker, but nevertheless i have to look for it (i grew up with the old spelling).

So, the Duden (an important dictionary of the German language) (Duden - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duden)
says:

Duden | Apostroph
http://www.duden.de/sprachwissen/rec...geln/apostroph

Wie gehts (auch: geht's) dir?

This means, both is correct!
