| I am a native English speaker, but I was unable to find any authoritative answer to my question anywhere else, and I hope that you folks can help me out. I'm writing an application essay to a college named St. John's. What is the posessive of St. John's? In other words, is it "St. Johns’ educational approach", or "St. John's educational approach", or something more exotic? Last edited by Toptomcat; 29-Oct-2006 at 20:00. |

| Here is one: Despite the unquestioned zeal of St. John’s alumni for seminars, the next half hour offers irrefutable proof of the validity of Newton’s first law. If one were to be very picky, one would write "St. John's's", but I doubt there is anyone who would actually do so. |
