Calor — talk 01:00, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Umm, the current version is gramatically correct. If a name ends in and "s" the correct ending in this case is "s'", not "s's". -- (gem / talk) 23:13, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Actually, either way is correct. Some editors consider the extra s as redundant, whereas others use it for clarity. Though I personally am in the former camp, we generally use 's to show possession of a proper name ending in s. For example, James's book is what we'd normally use (even though I prefer James' book). I have to assign this wonderful task to someone since I'm sure it's inconsistent. That's what happens when you've got 150+ people all meddling with the same files. :) Bobby Stein 23:29, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Meh at English teachers. I've always used "s's", like "James's", not "James'", but if the way it currently is is grammatically correct, then stick with it, no need for unnecessary work. Calor — talk 23:35, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I'm glad you caught this because we don't want lots of inconsistent usage throughout the game. I can't promise that it'll all be corrected immediately but, time permitting, we plan to go through our files. If it turns out to be a gargantuan task I might quietly forget this bug was ever reported. ;) Bobby Stein 23:38, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

You learn new every day. I was aware that the s's form is used, but I thought s' is generally held as more correct. -- (gem / talk) 23:42, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm not anguishing over it (although I am one for consistency, consistency, consistency), and we all want GW2 to be great. I never thought of the "'s, s's" thing outside of unique items, so I have no idea how many inconsistencies there are, but I know I've seen it in quest/mission dialogue at least a few times. And I've never seen s', as in James' in contemporary writings, so I figured it was incorrect. But there's always more to learn. Calor — talk 23:44, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Odd. They consider "s's" clearer? I've mostly seen "s'" considered less likely to be confused with "es". Backsword

I think to differentiate from singular possessive and plural possessive in some cases, but I don't feel like revisiting the topic we reviewed every year for five year. Calor — talk 23:50, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
