apostrophe

Hi

The road runs down to the Dragon's Head. CAN I WRITE Dragon Head without an apostrophe and an "s"?

thanks

, I guess it should be written the way it is usually written on relative signs. If an apostrophe is present there, then you had better not omit it.

If it's a standard name of a street, square, building etc., I guess it should be written the way it is usually written on relative signs. If an apostrophe is present there, then you had better not omit it.

It sounds like the name of a pub to me. You can't go messing around with the names of buildings/businesses.

No, Dragon's Head it's a headland in Japan.

In any case the answer remains the same: you cannot mess around with those names. Emotion: smile

You can't change proper names on a whim.

It's a bit like someone saying 'oh I don't like the name Newguest, I'm going to write 'Nowguest' instead. You can't just change someone/something's name because you feel like it.

...unless you're a mayor or someone like that.
