Do you spell words that end in s with 'es to show possession?
No, the "es" ending indicates plural for words that end in "s". To indicate possession with a word that ends in "s", add an apostrophe at the end. For instance: in the sentence, "I went to Jess' house," the apostrophe after Jess indicates her possession of the house. This is the traditional solution to possession for words ending with an "s". More recently, people have begun to use, an apostrophe "s" for all words that indicate possession. For instance: "I went to Jess's house." Many traditionalists have difficulty with this as it is cumbersome and redundant. I, as a traditionalist, am on the fence. While I aggree that it is unnecessary and a bit redundant, it does represent some continuity. My gut reaction is to reject it, but I am reticent to do so, allowing for the natural evolution of language, beside there being bigger fish to fry.
