Thomas' Keyboard Reviews – "Anti Stress Enter Key"

(BTW, Thomas, shouldn't that be Thomas's with apostrophe-S, the way it's pronounced? Or is it somehow understood that a phantom S is lurking at the end of the word?)

Love or hate him, his ****posting is always top notch.

"Thomas's" is grammatically incorrect. Words ending in -s don't get an extra "s" in the possessive case.

I still never sent you that Bastron glass keyboard. I saw the larger variant with the integrated trackpad/numpad ... thing for cheap too recently but the auction ended before I placed a bid.

"Thomas's" is grammatically incorrect. Words ending in -s don't get an extra "s" in the possessive case.

As with so many things in the English language, both are correct.

Wait, is this another English vs American thing again?

Haha, unfortunately, I can only speak for rules in the United States.

Took a quick look, and in 2/3 American English style guides I've seen (Chicago Manual of Style and APA Publication Manual, but not the AP Stylebook), they do use 's at the end of singular nouns (including proper nouns) ending with an s, and this article from the University of Sussex (UK English) does the same. What disturbs me more is that apparently there are exceptions to that rule, which I didn't know about:

"Second, a name ending in s takes only an apostrophe if the possessive form is not pronounced with an extra s. Hence:

Socrates' philosophy
Saint Saens' music
Ulysses' companions
Aristophanes' plays"

This exception is very troubling as it's arbitrary as to whether the possessive form should be pronounced with the extra s or not.

So the answer is, it depends on the style guide, but it isn't just an American English thing.
