English & Linguistics / Indicating Possession For a Word Ending in -s
« on: January 25, 2010, 10:13:51 AM »Quote
Some people pronounce the extra s, and some don't.I couldn't figure out who doesn't pronounce the extra "s," or in what circumstances you might not. After all, no one says -- or would say -- "I stole Jesus tricycle." But then I realized that if the word already had an extra "s" as a consequence of a plural, I normally wouldn't say the "s"; in other words, I would NOT say "I shot out the Smiths-es window."
