That way, hopefully, you should always be right. So, always be consistent and use the "preferred" Charles's and avoid use of the confusing and "non-preferred" Charles' altogether. If in doubt therefore, I'd recommend always using 's. This doesn't really explain why the s is introduced but it may help if you can simply remember: "of" or "of the" are replaced by the 's. This probably evolved in conversation, to help avoid unintentionally implying a plural (house's/houses) we don't pronounce the apostrophe after all. So, the same principle used for a contraction is employed (like with: don't, you're, they'll, etc) except the phrase is usually reversed. Just try and change French, and beware the backlash!)Īlso, note that in showing possesion, the 's is effectively used to contract "house of Alex", into "Alex's house" just like o'clock is contracted from of the clock. A word is defined as a sequence of word characters. So in this regard, although I've never heard of the s being dropped after an x', strictly it's wrong regardless, even if possibly accepted in some places. Matches the empty string, but only at the beginning or end of a word. For example: American's officially misspell 'colour' as 'color' use 'burglarized' instead of 'burgled' and tragically, 'gotten' is legitimate grammar in the USA! As an Englishman I'd obviously argue that such changes are not correct English, even if "official" elsewhere. Then, if local rules vary, the above rules only strictly apply to "real" English. (Worse still, some countries apparently, USA in particular, don't necessarily consider (the language) English to be English (of we "Englanders") and wrongly try to take ownership. And from the other examples, apparently because Euripides' already ends with the "ez" sound, an additional s is seemingly not used so why Menzies's, rather than Menzies'? Apparently though, Charles's is the "preffered" option, even though both would correctly be pronounced Charlesez. However, to the original point (but not original example), and this is where it gets less clear, both Charles' and Charles's are considered technically correct. If said aloud, it is immediately clear "my sons's bedroom" would have been incorrect because this would be pronounced: "my sonsez bedroom". ![]() Whereas, if I write instead: "my sons' bedroom" I will mean a shared bedroom used by my sons (plural). ![]() If I wrote: "my son's bedroom" I would mean the bedroom of one son (singular).But to expand further on these replies:.
