What ?? This is an English class for 'jk'..sm

Posted By: ??? on 2009-05-11
In Reply to: English class - no apostrophe "s" after - jk

Subject: What ?? This is an English class for 'jk'..sm

It is

Charles's car
boss's desk
Dallas's airport

Exception:

Only If the addition of an extrra 's' would make the word difficult to pronounce, add the apostrophe only:

New Orleans' fish
Los Angeles' team

and expecially with foreign
words:

Dumas's novel
Mr. Chambers' estate

and also

for goodness' sake
for conscience' sake.

Did you use your old reference books ?

I got my information online, therefore much more accurate.

Hi, Newbie!

Guess they haven't taught you about homonyms yet. Sight, site, and cite are a good example of them. The correct one is site (location).

Also try ophthalmology specialty book, Surgical Word Book, and whatever hospital you're working for does have a list of the instruments used. I used to call Sterile Supply directly (in a former lifetime when we worked in hospitals) and then check their spelling.

Good luck.

i think it's because "small" and "moderate" are COMPARATIVE ADJECTIVES and the grammar experts say not to use a hyphen with comparative or superlative adjectives...geez...language is so weird, and MT is so hard, hyphens are the LEAST of our worries, yes? =)
