| Aug 9, 2013 at 22:10 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | I love the pseudorules stipulating that (a) The possessives of proper names are formed in the same way as those of common nouns. The possessive of singular proper names is formed by adding -’s. (b) Ancient classical names ending in s add only the apostrophe to form the possessive. Hence, Though Athens' foundation was thousands of years ago, Athens's economic future is uncertain. | |
