I'm having trouble with this. Every book or person I consult seems to have something different to say.
What do you do with the apostrophe in a possessive form when the name ends in "s"? For example, let's say I'm talking about my friend Chris, who has a hat. Is it Chris's hat? Or Chris' hat? Ulysses's journey or Ulysses' journey? Does it make a difference if the possessive changes the sound of the word?
Thoughts?
