I'm not sure what you mean by "is all," but I suspect "that's all" is probably correct. I watch very little American television or film, and when I do it's usually 10 years out of date, so my familiarity with linguistic trends is on a decade delay.
I tell my children all the time that it is better to speak slowly and deliberately than to fill the gaps with "like" or "um" every other word. It's a constant battle.
@Bee witched. I think most style manuals would say that if you make the second ess sound then the apostrophe tucks between the two letter esses (if you’ll excuse that word).
Thus: Liz Truss’s budget, St James’s Park, the princess’s pea
But if you don’t make the extra ess sound then it is as you say: both horses’ riders, two weeks’ time, my parents’ wedding.

It’s not just nouns used as verbs, it can also be verbs used as nouns. ‘Ask’ is an obvious example, always prefaced by ‘too big a(n)’.
And another, writing “To” on envelopes or parcels. If a postal worker has failed to grasp the concept of an address they’re probably in the wrong job.
Surely it should be "Liz Truss' mini-budget" ... or am I wrong?
