Hello, I'm MichaelMaggs. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Eggcorn, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. MichaelMaggs (talk) 07:53, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

On the Use of "'s"

I currently stand by my reverting of your change, but swaying my opinion might be possible.  :-)

> 1. this isn't pluralisation but a genitive;

You are correct. I used the wrong word despite referencing a material which actually used the correct word.

> 2. common nouns ending in -s take a genitive in -s', proper nouns take -s's;

What style guides are you using? I referenced Purdue OWL when I reverted your change.

> 3. nouns in -s form plurals in -es.

You are correct.

Have you seen English possessive? Also, why would you default to an obscure American university style guide instead of the standard English usage? – Dyolf87 (talk) 09:36, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
