* The elements of style

Ch. 1  Elementary Rules of Usage

1. Form the possessive sigular of nouns by adding's

Follow this rule whatever the final consonant. Thus write,

Charles's Friend 

Burns's poems

the witch's malice

Exceptions are the possessives of ancient proper names ending in -es and -is, the possessive Jesus', and such forms as for conscience' sake, for righteousness' sake. But such forms as Moses' Laws, Isis' temple are commonly replaced by the laws of Moses   

the temple of Isis

The pronominal possessives hers, its, theirs, yours, and ours have no apostrophe. Indefinite pronouns, howerver, use the apostrophe to show possession.

one's right

somebody else's umbrella

A common error is to write it's for its, or vice versa. The first is a contraction, meaning "it is." The second is a possessive.

It's a wise dog that scratches its own fleas.
