| Nov 25, 2012 at 21:28 | comment | added | user541686 | @tchrist: I'm not saying it's not already answered -- I'm just saying that, contrary to your comment, of the 57 questions you mentioned, the only one I've seen (so far) that mentions this case is the dupe you just marked (since they mention "Jones’s")... the rest of them, as far as I have seen so far, are talking about slightly different situations. As for the dupe, I admittedly didn't come across it until you mentioned it. But yes, your answer on the dupe does seem to cover it, so this is indeed a dupe. It's just that your comment implied I posted this carelessly, which I hadn't. | |
| Nov 25, 2012 at 21:20 | comment | added | tchrist♦ | @Merhdad I cannot understand what your question is which is not already answered, including in the possible dup listed above. We have dealt with this a million times before. | |

@tchrist: Do you really think I didn't look at the Wikipedia article before posting this? (Or to put it another way -- what do you think brought up this question for me in the first place?!) And regarding the fifty-seven previous questions: how many of them are actually regarding possessive nouns ending with a soft "es"? A lot of those don't quite cover this case; I didn't happen to come across any that did myself, so I posted this. The question you marked as a dupe only barely covers this... knowing that "boss's" is correct doesn't quite answer this question -- it's a hard s & more obvious.
