I find that's what I use more often. <br /><br />I've never heard about the syllable thing though. That's a whole NEW element to play with!

question: how do Y...a fellow grammarian! woohoo!<br /><br />question: how do YOU punctuate the possessive of such proper nouns like chris or james or lucas? do you do: chris', james' and lucas'? or do you prefer chris's, james's or lucas's. i personally prefer the latter, though only last year did i read either can be correct and that some people punctuate differently depending on the number of syllables in the proper noun!shebahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10458476339701063947noreply@blogger.com
