I know plural possessive can be 's at the end, but it drives me batty. Just put an ' after. It looks better. Reads better. Why not do this.

@Carin_McLeoud Plural possessive is actively supposed to be just the apostrophe after. It's possessive of a name ending in S that's trouble.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@chaosprime I dont mind 's at the end of a proper noun, because it's a name. Those are special. Unfortunately, CMOS disagrees w/ us on s's.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@Carin_McLeoud No, now I'm turning up some things that say some editions of Chicago say to do that. And others go by length (!?).1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
@Carin_McLeoud I find myself quite unreasonably enraged by the idea that even the damn plural possessive case isn't settled and done with.
