Actually as long as it is singular, it will always have ‘s, no matter how many ‘s’s there are before or after. “My boss’s super shadow somehow solicits something sinister.” However, the plural would change that. “My bosses’ super shadows somehow solicit something sinister.”
Actually, you ONLY add the ‘s when you want to contract “is” to the end of the word… in this case, you would be saying “My boss is super shadow somehow solicits something sinister”… which makes no sense. As such, it would have to be boss’
Max, I salute your grammarial comprehension, but PX173 actually makes a good point–those rules do vary from country to country, and punctuation can vary greatly depending upon which style guide you are using (MLA, APA, Chicago Manual).
Wrong. You only add an apostrophe to the end of the possessive word if it is plural. If it is singular, it’s still ‘s.
Jesus is still Jesus’s. If you want to say that your two cats toys are missing, you would say “The cats’ toys are missing” since cats is plural in that case.
It’s so funny… I see Drongo commenting on as many posts as possible so that someone would feed this troll… but I’m happy that finally failbookers know better
I didn’t read the people’s names so I thought this was a real post at first, and that some real person was at work complaining about their boss. Then I was like “wait why is one of them named Darth Vader?”
/herpderp
I didn’t realize that this was a Star Wars joke. But when I read the status message I left out loud. Maybe because it seems like some people breathe really loudly and it sounds just like that.
I laughed before I realized it was a star wars joke character pun thing.
Even though you’re a Trekkie Chick? Kudos, I always knew that the two fandoms could get along. I’m living proof: my mom’s a Trekker and my dad loves Star Wars.
If you can choke someone in a different ship, don’t you think you could type on their keyboard too? I don’t see why Vader is finding this so difficult. In fact, I could qedfdbn.,/
YOUR INTERNET TROLLING IS NO MATCH FOR THE POWER OF THE FORCE!
you know what i always found funny? in Dutch, moff (or mof) is a word used to describe nazis. and since the empire is pretty nazi-like, i always laughed.
LIKE A BOSS
DV needs respect to the heck…
anyone else totally read that in Darth Vader’s voice?
with HOOOO PAAAAS : D

Nope.

/raises hand
totally!
yep^^
Boss’ not boss’s….
No. You only do that if the next word starts with ‘s’.
Actually as long as it is singular, it will always have ‘s, no matter how many ‘s’s there are before or after. “My boss’s super shadow somehow solicits something sinister.” However, the plural would change that. “My bosses’ super shadows somehow solicit something sinister.”
^^^^^^
Bate’s'es.
Not in my country.
Actually, you ONLY add the ‘s when you want to contract “is” to the end of the word… in this case, you would be saying “My boss is super shadow somehow solicits something sinister”… which makes no sense. As such, it would have to be boss’
In the case of singular pronoun, you put ‘s after the word (unless the pronoun is it, in which case you don’t put an ‘.
If the pronoun is plural, you put ‘s after the pronoun if the pronoun doesn’t end with s. If it does, you just put an ‘ at the end.
So:
— Singular —
Boss’s = possessed by the Boss
Its = possessed by it
— Multiple —
Bosses’ = possessed by the bosses
Ladies’ = possessed by the ladies
Women’s = possessed by the women
It’s = Contraction of it is
Everyone’s possessed!
Oh Noes! :O

This is a reply to the general thread, not just Max.

“The dog’s bone is missing”.
So I guess that translates to “The dog is bone is missing”?
You’re a FAIL.
Wrong. You only add an apostrophe to the end of the possessive word if it is plural. If it is singular, it’s still ‘s.
Jesus is still Jesus’s. If you want to say that your two cats toys are missing, you would say “The cats’ toys are missing” since cats is plural in that case.
This is stupid.
*Stupid’s…ass inne ittes beeloonges…twooe stoopeedd’es
Breath LIKE A BOSS!
Use the force, like a BOSS!
“Use the force…”
That thread was so full of WIN, it belongs on the WIN page
Hahahahahaha
There must have been a mistake when posting this failbook because they forgot to the put in the part that was actually funny.
Blasphemy!! I will force choke the s*** out of you!
More proof that Darth Vader is awesome.
/nerdmode on
Admiral Ozzel is the guy that got choked via telepresence. You know, “he’s as clumsy as he is stupid” right before Captain Piett gets a promotion?
General Veers is the “the shield will be down in moments, my lord. You may start your landing.”
/nerdmode off
Still pretty funny if not technically accurate.
It’s so funny… I see Drongo commenting on as many posts as possible so that someone would feed this troll… but I’m happy that finally failbookers know better
Drongo isn’t really a troll. He’s too domesticated. He’s like a dog who can use a keyboard.
Totally fake.
Can you tell be the pixels?

I hate how people type their stuttering. “my.. my lord” bleh
i find your lack of privacy disturbing.
Anyone else think these type things are getting old on here?
This is at least two years old
