No, Mr. CalifJim. It is not a joke.

In English grammar, we can say: teachers' room not teachers's room

So, I don't know if person's name ends in (s) should take ('s) or (s')

So, Thanks for help Mr. CalifJim.

Hi fadysandy.

First of all, correct is ungradeable adjective, so it cannot have comparative forms. Because it descibes an absolte concept.

Jim is right. Your question sounds like a joke, because both sentences are the same.

If you are asking about possesive adjective for plural nouns, I have to tell you that, apostrophe is used after s without the need of any extra s at

See Where does the apostrophe belong when the last name ends in "s" and is foreign?
