omg as if you freaks actually discuss language through choice *sigh*

and ox...calm.

No, the proper spelling is "Satis' ", but since we use "...s's" so frequently, it has become accepted by the general populace. But technically, it's still wrong. It's a bit like "fun". We say "It was really fun!", but fun can't actually be used as such.

Blah - I'm right, you're wrong 8)

I still think you're wrong

http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/ ... apost.html

"add 's to the singular form of the word (even if it ends in -s):"

and then again

http://www.learningcommons.uoguelph.ca/ ... mmar.htm#4

"When showing possession, add an 's to the owner word. Then, if the word ends in a double or triple s, erase the one after the apostrophe and leave the apostrophe in place."

however, even by them, it should be Satis's (satis end in a single s, not double or triple).

And from some UK college:

http://www.lboro.ac.uk/departments/el/t ... rophe.html

"With Mr. Jones, there are two options. It can either be added in the normal way, ie Jones's, or it can be added on its own after the name, ie Jones'. Strictly the first case is correct, but there are no clear rules here - many people use the second case as it appears less cluttered in normal text. The same is true of many other names ending with the letter "s". "

this one says we're both right. So, either I'm right, I'm right, or I'm right but your way is acceptable.

"BOR-ing"

*Stares*

We're mods, who cares how boring it is?

And actually, I'm right. I asked my english teacher.

ARGH can we please quit this?! Most people in England get apostrophe's wrong all the time. So lets just keep with the both are accepted thing! Bloody hell!

*goes off to kill people from America and NZ*

Ok, both are accepted. Fine. But only one is the correct one - "s' "

ok, your links please? Every link I posted supports my hypothesis. "My English teacher confirmed it" isn't what I would call conclusive evidence.

Pevil:
"ARGH can we please quit this?! Most people in England get apostrophe's wrong all the time."

Funny you should say that, since you misused an apostrophe in "apostrophe's". lol. If you didn't do that on purpose, that's just too damn funny.
