Nark Forums Junkie Location: Cabramatta, NSW Registered: May 2002	Possessives in English grammar Mon, 09 February 2004 09:13 Should there be an 's'?[ 43 vote(s) ] 1. No, it's Keats' poem! 36 / 84% 2. Yes, it's Keats's poem! 7 / 16% Just had an... err.... "discussion" with the woman over this. For possession, should there be an 's' after the apostrophe of someone's name if the name ends in an 's'? For example, we say Peter's ball... Do we write Keats's poem? Or Keats' poem? A car modifier's forum is prolly not the best place to ask this question I suppose.... Judging from the amount of people who don't know the difference between there, they're, and their on these forums, I'm kinda afraid of the results of this poll.... Here's a bit of reading for you guys: http://ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/possessives.htm They sit on the fence though. [Report message to a moderator]
