It's a Keats poem.
It's Keats' poem.
It's a waste not shagging the woman (unless she looked like keats/keat's/keats'/keats's)

as discussed in a previous thread, it's amazing how much intelligence their actually is on this car forum, when you consider that, well, most car enthusiast's arent renouned for their intellect
(and yes, the two apostrophies and the "their" are intentional ... especially for max)

From that link
Quote: | For singular and plural nouns that end in any letter other than s, form the possessive by adding 's:
the boy's book
the children's opinions
Plural nouns that end in s should take the s':
the Smiths' house
the dogs' kennels
When singular nouns end in s, the 's is generally used:
Dickens's novels
Nurse Jones's uniform
|
So I got it right at the start

Blame the YANKS!
They usually use the stupid ---s's
Afterall they spell programme, program
and centre, center.
Also, they created the worst word in the world...GOTTEN....don't ever use it.
I remember after doing QLD examinations there was a question on how to use the word 'alternate'. This word should should only be used to describe something that changes either direction or choice etc. For some reason people say, "Oh that man has an alternate lifestyle."
SHOULD BE alternative - it's an adjective!
As for the word 'program', you can get away with but it should be 'programme'.
To top it off, I remember my teachers saying that we had an 'alternate program' in the dying weeks at school. That's Edu. Qld. for ya!

A car modifier's forum is prolly not the best place to ask this question I suppose....
|
car modifier (class) forum
or car modifiers' forum (plural posessive)
not car modifier's forum (singular posessive).

keat{own}s the poem

I disagree.
I think of it as a forum for the car modifier.
Therefore, my use of "car modifier's forums".
