Name ending with S "is the place to be"
Hi all,
I work for a small community paper / newsletter, and we have a reoccurring issue with the use of a name that ends with S followed by the word "is". The line is:
"...so for the cheapest prices in town Golfies the place to be...".
Where would the correct apostrophe placement go for this?
Also, another article is titled "Redbacks crictet report". Redbacks (with the s) is the name of the team, as in "The Redbacks". Where would the apostrophe go here?
Thank you for your help. I think it would go after the S in both cases, but I am outnumbered in the office and thought I'd turn to the Internet for some support!
Cheers,
Amber
