- AlecSchueler 2y agoLol yes though?
- TheRealPomax 2y agoIt is trivial to find more than sufficiently authoritative source that cover the rules that make "Chris'" and "boss'" perfectly value contracted possessives in English. [1] However, it's English: there isn't just one rule, another rule can also be valid and might be the one you're familiar with on a day to day basis. That doesn't mean any other way to say or write the same thing is wrong, it's just a pattern you never saw. Like someone going "lol snuck isn't a real word, it's sneaked!" and then you hand them a dictionary and they learn something new about their own language.

- vundercind 2y agoYou pronounce both of your examples with two S phonemes at the end. Putting that in the written form is absolutely Ok.
- thaumasiotes 2y ago> You pronounce both of your examples with two S phonemes at the end. Um... what? Pronouncing a possessive suffix with /səs/ isn't valid anywhere. The only possibility is /səz/. Same goes for the plural suffix.
