| 1) How do you pronounce: “foxes” : /fokSez/ or /fokZez/ ? 2) Is the possessive of "Jesus" a) Jesus' or b) Jesus's ? If b) would you pronounce it /dgeezuSez/ ? Regards, Hela |

| I say 'foksiz'. With Jesus, you'll see both forms and both pronunciations used. I was taught to add the -'s with foreign names, so I'd add it. |

| Thank you. But what is the most formal / academic version of the use of the apostrophe? In academic English would you write Oedipus' or Oedipus's / Jesus' or Jesus's / Achilles' or Achilles's ? See you |
