For example, if the cursor is at the beginning of the following line in an English-text buffer: 'cause that's just how it is. Typing "M-c" moves the cursor to the space just after the first word, but the first word will not be capitalized. `M-u' (`upcase-word') continues past a word's trailing apostrophe. For example, if the cursor is at the beginning of the following line in an English-text buffer: mit's Typing "M-u" moves the cursor to just after the "'s" and both the word and its trailing "s" is converted to uppercase letters.
