Just got back from the library — uh, Chapters — and was reading a great little book called Eats, Shoots & Leaves. It’s about punctuation sticklers. Now, I know I can’t spell and I can’t punctuate, but I aspire to better and I liked what I read. (By the way, Blogger’s spell checker hasn’t worked for me since their newest “improvements.”)

Anyway, the author sheds some new light on the old punctuation of plurality discussion we were engaged in breifly a few weeks back. She says possessive punctuation works differently depending on the situation. She says that if the pluralization has the ‘iz’ sound like Moses, it becomes Moses’s but Jesus is always an exception and becomes Jesus’. So, Darren and Jenn Foulds’s house (or more simply: the Foulds’s) is correct.
