Silvy, Sorry about the misspelling there. Should of used a dictionary.

Ratman,

So Johns' is plural and John's is singular. Damn, I always thought that the s' is for possession. It doesn't make sense if I understand it.

Example:

Where are Johns' bags.

Would the "s" at the end of "bag" mean that is plural and the "s' " at the end of John means they belong to him?

Example:

Where are Johns' bag at?

To me that mean their is only one bag, not two, so the plural " s' " at the end of John doesn't make sense.

So I'm still confuse, I could not be understanding it. I vaguely remember a fuss about the 's in McDonald's. Some teachers somewhere thought it was bad grammar and they should of kept it McDonalds'

I always thought " 's" always stood for "is". And "s' " is for possession.
