". . . Dimitriy's problem might yield to an approach using regular
expressions."
Come to think of it, it might yield to something like
foreach var of varlist _all {
local variable_label : variable label `var'
local variable_label = subinstr(proper("`variable_label '"), ///
"'S", "'s", .)
label variable `var' "`variable_label '"
}
It should work for English possessive case, if that's where Dimitriy's
apostrophe problem lies.
