Historians tell us that this joke must have first been told after 1326, and refers to Comte Alfred d'Astaire entered French society with his talented root-finding fowl. Sadly, in this year, the pressures of performing its party piece for the nobles of the court caused the rooster to lose its feathers and gain the hue of which Professor Magoo speaks . . . . but it never lost its skill to root out ginger.

Since "Whats" is a contraction of "What is" I don't think your answer has been true for some time. I hate to think what it smells of now.

I don't know if you have read about it, but there is a book published recently that concerns itself with what it calls "vanishing apostrophes" and other misuses of punctuation.

'Eats, Shoots and Leaves' by Lynne Truss, probably.
A timely boost for people like me who refuse to buy "potato's" from a "greengrocer's"......

Was it not Keith Waterhouse who regularly wrote in the Daily Mail about "aberrant apostrophes"?
There was a shop in the Grangetown area of Cardiff which proudly declared that it sold "Rugs and Carpet's" or was it "Rug's and Carpets".
