I did not know Jones’s was valid actually! And honestly, I learned that rule from level names in Ty the Tasmanian tiger, like “Cass’ Pass” when I thought they fucked up as a kid.
Mainly just was adding on! I’m similar when I learn rules like that or when I finally nailed the ‘to’ vs ‘too’ thing, I tend to also get irked by their misuses after I get them down
Isn’t that apostrophe possessive? Shouldn’t it have been Xs? Not a native English speaker, so just asking.
Yes, you’re correct. Musk is not very clever.
I hate being pedantic but misuse of apostrophes drives me crazy for some reason…
It’s not The ABC’s, it’s The ABCs…
It’s not The 90’s, it’s The 90s or The '90s…
The usage rules are so simple and it never involves pluralization
Mmmm, it’s and its would like a word with you. Not pluralization but definitely the one that makes it less than simple.
Also, the other weird one is words/names that already end in ‘s’
Like if Mr Jones owns something, that’s Mr Jones’ car
Yeah that’s fair. It’s mainly the unnecessary addition of the apostrophe that irks me…especially with acronyms.
Jones’ and Jones’s are both correct though! The latter just looks stupid even though we pronounce the extra S regardless
