question
Soooo. Here is a stupid, I-should-know-this question for all of you.
If I am writing a name that ends in 's' (for this example we will use Jones), and I am trying to demonstrate possession (the cat that belonged to Jones), HOW THE EFF DO I WRITE THIS?!
Jones' cat? Or Jones's cat?
I'm assuming it's Jones' cat, because the other one looks STUPID but I've seen it written both ways by professionals and I need it confirmed by my smarty-pants flist
And please ignore the fact that I'm an English major, a licensed English teacher, and a published author myself. *shameface*
