Actually the rule differs depending on a whole number of factors. There will be circumstances where Chris's is plain wrong and you should really go with Chris' instead. Sep 30, 2013 at 18:28

No, I don't think Chris's is ever wrong. Can you present one such circumstance?– user28567Sep 30, 2013 at 21:45
