Re: Apostrophe of noun ending in s .
The possessive of singular nouns ending in -s are now standardized to the usual 's, with the sometime exception of classical and biblical names (Socrates', Jesus')-- though you will still find some varying opinions among style manuals.
This form of the possessive, however, is normally limited to nouns representing sentient beings-- a company would more often use the noun as an adjective: Toyota customers, Fatfaces customers.
.
In your case, howevver |
