Why on earth was Team Galactic trying to steal this man's honey?

To mass attract Pokemon. They harvest energy from Pokemon evolving to power the galactic bombs.

Tomato and Tamato Berry are two completely different items! One is for stacking on sandwiches, the other is for lowering Speed EVs.

He’s not right or wrong. There is no definitive answer on making singular proper nouns that end in s possessive. Some recommend only the apostrophe and some insist on sticking to ‘s.
It’s an extremely retarded argument to have

>Q. When a person's name ends in "s," how do you form the possessive?
Chicago and MLA say add 's as in: Mills becomes Mills's.

>>55788230
Maybe because for classical and biblical names there are other rules, retard.

You omit the 's only if it is a plural, not if it is a singular noun ending in "s".

>>55788262
>Style manuals differ in their recommendations. The Chicago Manual of Style, APA Publication Manual, and MLA Handbook recommend adding an apostrophe and another s, consistent with how possessives in general are formed
>The AP Stylebook and AMA Manual of Style recommend adding just an apostrophe and no additional s (like you would with plural nouns).
There's also:
>Additional S only if pronounced
>An alternative style is to add another s after the apostrophe only if the additional letter would actually be pronounced while speaking. For example, many people pronounce the possessive of Chris, Jesus, or Dickens without an extra s sound.

Both English and American education sources state that you omit the 's only if it is a plural noun. You have to comprehend basic English before making fun of retarded ESLs.
>>
>>55788338
And those clash with certain style guides (The AP Stylebook and AMA Manual of Style)
Both Mars' and Mars's are correct, depending on which style you follow, but Mars's is the more recommended one.
At worst, Mars' is discouraged, but not actually wrong.
>>55788303
>Maybe because for classical and biblical names there are other rules
Mars is classical, but the common exception is only for two syllable names that end in s, not single syllable ones.
Jesus or Achilles would be Jesus' and Achilles', but a single syllable like Zeus or Mars would use Zeus's or Mars's.

The ' goes as a shorthandle for "is", but when the words end in "s", you only need to put the ' only.
>>
>>55790687
You omit the 's only if it is a plural, not if it is a singular noun ending in "s".
>>
>>55788184
ESL pro-tip: trying to correct a real English speaker's correct grammar outs you 100% of the time.
>>
I don't even remember what a noun or verb is, I just type what I think looks correct and I've yet to be called out for it.
>>
>>55791326
I always just remember them roughly as "a noun is a thing and a verb is an action"
Like a house or a dog is a noun, me nutting is a verb. I'm gonna go verb now

Are Americans really not taught basic grammer at school?
>>
>>55791373
Well I'm Canadian, but I don't think they ever used those words in class after like, 2nd grade. Doesn't affect my reading comprehension or writing ability if I forget exact semantics though.
>>
>>55791373
I wouldn't know. I'm an ESL, not a burger.
I was taught in school but I never really through about it since then and now I've forgotten the rules of the language. I can write comprehensively enough, so me being unable to recite the rules has never really been an issue.
