Re: apostrophe Aglika's answer is the rule that I prefer, but you will sometimes see Mrs Turgeons' (if the name is Turgeons). There is disagreement on this point -- what do you do with a proper name ending in -s -- but "Turgeons's" is now becoming more popular.
Some people accept the modern version for most names, but insist on the more traditional apostrophe-only version for classical names -- Archimedes' Principle, Jesus' parables, Descartes' philosophy and so on. |
