As I have come to understand, today it's equally legal to use the s' and s's solution when dealing with possesive forms.
For example: Chris' dog / Chris's dog.
But what about the situations where we are not dealing with a name? In this case, I would definetely go with the s' option - but is the other one gramatically incorrect?
For example: The two boys' mother / The two boys's mother
All the girls' dolls / All the girls's dolls
Please don't misunderstand me, but I'd very much appreciate anwers based on solid grammatical rules rather than "I prefer"-argumetations.
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards
