Yeah, it gets complicated when formal rules can just be made up. I had a group of professors who published a little sheet saying, "These are the ways we like it, but unless it's truly horrendous, you aren't getting knocked for it." Their rule was something along the lines of pre-Roman fall, names that ended in -s don't get an extra 's, but afterwards they do. So Jesus', but Aquinas's... /shrug
Let's talk about the real issue, how do I make proper boundaries that are singular and possessive plural? Imagine a restauranted Pop's. Is it Pop'ses?
Well, it's obviously Pop'ses's.
Is Pop'ses is the plural, the plural possessive would be Pop'ses'
