Is there an easier way to type apostrophes on the Droid X keyboard? Is there an easier way to type apostrophes on the Droid X keyboard?

Two issues --


I press and hold the period key, which brings up the little pallet of punctuation.  But the apostrophe is inexplicably all the way over on the left.  Can I move this closer to the right, where my thumb is while clicking and holding the period key?  It's the most common character I use from this pallet.
Alternately, can I somehow get an apostrophe on the overhead menu that appears when you type a space?  This is the place where auto-correct goes, but when you type a space, it becomes a comma, exclamation point, question mark, etc.  How can I get an apostrophe in this list?
You can 'cook up' (create) your own keyboard thanks to an awsome android dev. (That way you can have the apostrophe wherever you want :-)
