do words ending in 'x' have an apostrophe (if possessive)?
two people i work with almost got into fisticuffs over this at our weekly meeting; one claiming that names (such as alex or max or fox) have an apostrophe 's,' the other thinking that it would be the name sans the 's' anyone know? |

Apostrophe s.
Even words that end in s end in an apostrophe s unless they're plural. -------------------- QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Oct 13 2006, 09:51 PM)  Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!
