部份引文述刪
: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostrophe#Possessive_apostrophe
: If a singular noun ends with an /s/ or a /z/ sound (spelled with -s, -se, -z,
: -ce, for example), practice varies as to whether to add 's or the apostrophe
: alone. (For discussion on this and the following points, see below.)
: In general, a good practice is to follow whichever spoken form is judged
: better: the boss's shoes, Mrs Jones' hat (or Mrs Jones's hat, if that spoken
: form is preferred). In many cases, both spoken and written forms differ
: between writers.
: Similar examples of notable names ending in an s that are often given a
: possessive apostrophe with no additional s include Dickens and Williams.
: There is often a policy of leaving off the additional s on any such name, but
: this can prove problematic when specific names are contradictory (for example,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
: St James' Park in Newcastle [the football ground] and the area of St. James's
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
: Park in London).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
那像這一段說的,有時為了做區別而視情況加或不加,有制式或較優先的用法嗎?
例如,如果是指地方,就不加"s",但如果是人名的話就要加"'s"
這個有人知道嗎?
