We're guessing if we model one's behaviour on the other's. Have you a corroborating reference for 'There's nothing wrong with the possessive marker at the end '? | |

| Jun 8, 2018 at 20:25 | comment | added | Tim Barclay | Perhaps I'm mistaken but I always deem it correct to put a description of a person in a new clause within commas: "Edward, the King of England, has a crown". So in that instance, would it be "Edward, the King of England's, crown"? | |
