| May 14 at 10:43 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | The state of flux/confusion is illustrated by 'In 2019, the AP raised quite the ruckus when they tweeted that they were considering adding an S after the apostrophe for singular proper nouns, as in Mavis Staples’s album or Martha Reeves’s concert. To date [July 2020], no changes have been made, but as you can see, it’s an ever-evolving, highly volatile topic.' [Thesaurus.com] | |
