What wrong with Nonetheless?

s' is the standard in a lot of languages, so bear in mind that the person doing the mistake could be a non-native

more like what's right with it?

Isn't s' the correct possessive article for words ending with z, x or s?

Like Max' hat, Veeky Forums' shilling, Hess' faggotry

or in the case of multiple guys "the guys' feet"

...

It should be Hess's faggotry, Veeky Forums's shilling, etc.

> adding extra "s" with apostrophes

I'm not sure about the x and z, but you're right about the s.

the only time you don't add an s is if it has to do with Greco-Roman Antiquity.

Socrates'
Hercules'
Hermes'
etc.

i guess not just greco-roman
for example Xerxes'
but you get what i mean

lmao

>Heracles
Ftfy. Only plebs pronounce/spell the Roman name.

'Xerxes' is the Greek for his Persian name.

kys for even bringing that up

r u even trying?

>actually advocating for s's

you deserve death

I read somewhere that you should use s's when the possessor is singular and s' when it's plural. But I've seen mixes printed. So are there any real rules?
