The Proper Possesive Form


Question Posted Monday July 11 2011, 1:34 am

I think this is the correct category. How would one say "This is Ryan Jones photography." Would it be -Ryan Jones'- or would it be -Ryan Jones's-? Thanks for the help!

And this is so that I can start a Facebook page and make sure that I do no look ignorant when I make it.

Dear "The Proper Possesive Form",

In college MLA formatting classes, we were taught that when the word is a noun like Mr. Jones, to make it possessive you sould write it like "Jones' or Jones's". Essentially, either way gives the same possessive indication to the reader. Consistency is the key. Write it the same way every time.

Here is link that explains it better.

Good Luck!

Ryan Jones's :)

Jones' means that Jone is plural (making it jones) and that the photography belongs to the more than one Jone. If I make sense. LOL
