Could you tell me whether ‘that’s’ is acceptable in this sentence?
Productivity improvements are as important to the economy as they are to the individual business that’s making them.
Is the abbreviation of ‘that is’ above acceptable? I have never seen the relative pronoun is abbreviated with the following verb. If acceptable, can other relative pronouns such as who and which be written like who’s or which’s?
