Because that would be awesome, in my opining. I just made the connection of the weird road system forming a complex glyph which does magic. Kansas's glyph keeps an Elder God slumbering, Elantris's strengthens the Dor (and probably some other things as there are more Aons in the streets). BTW, is that Kansas's/Elantris's right? It seems weird. The word ends in s and then the 's? How do you even pronounce that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The word ends in s and then the 's? How do you even pronounce that? It depends on the style. I was taught to write it without the 's' (so Elantris') but that can cause confusion because that's what you also do with possession by a plural noun (like cats' legal rights in Istanbul). For the sake of communication, and art, one can shuffle things around. The Hope of Elantris. The Kansas city's glyphs. The Elantrian streets.

The Invested Beard Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Words that end in an S when marked as possessive are simply marked with an apostrophe. I'm sure there's an exception, but that's the prevalent rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magestar he/him Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Invested Beard is correct as far as spelling goes, however, I don't think there is a problem with pronouncing the S. The plural of Jones would be Jones', as an example, but it's pronounced Joneses. In conclusion: I have no idea what's going on with these S's. (Pronounced EsEz? Should that just be S'?)

I'm sure there's an exception, but that's the prevalent rule. True. And when it's plural, that's how I write it. (Though I still pronounce the extra possessive 's'.) However, when it comes to my husband's name, James...well, something that belongs to him is James's. Because even though his name ends with an 's', there's only one of him.

Sunbird she/her Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 People driving their cars in the rain with their headlights off. It's been raining all day here and I've seen waaaay too many people driving without headlights. It's not just the law, people; it's common sense that will help you avoid getting KILLED when another driver doesn't see you because you were too stupid to turn your lights on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soyperson Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 (edited) My English teacher. Her middle name, (and I hope to Cthulhu that it is not her given name) is Moonchild. She never stops talking about her pugs (and I love pugs! But this woman takes it too far!) And she's terrible to my close friend, who is in the class with me.

We talked about it in my Psychology class too, but I don't recall there being a "this is 100% proven science" bent to it. That's mildly unsettling.

PantsForSquares he/him Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 The one thing that absolutely drives me up the wall is when people pull up beside me when I'm trying to do a left turn. There's this one particular junction between my apartment and college where there's the main road, and the road I live on. I can pull in between the two traffic flows and wait for an opening, but sometimes some moron will pull up right beside me. Then I'm forced to wait for a longer time because I can't see because they're blocking my way argh. As far as things that can seriously ruin my mood in the mornings, this is pretty close to topping the list, and it's absolutely annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
