Mal ,'Heart Of Gold'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Brits add a lot of unnecessary apostrophes, or anyway do in their advertising and commercial signage.
I think Susan's question points to the fact that you may be named Jeffs, and own something; and you may be two people named Jeff, and own something; and both situations may use the same word. Can't they?
Aren't you glad now I didn't call him Sassafras? And gladder still that I used italics instead of quote marks, which was my original impulse.

Not the way I learned it. Which doesn't mean it's an absolute law, but if I wrote Jeffs', I'd absolutely mean belonging to two or more guys named Jeff, while Jeffs's would just as definitely mean belonging to one guy named Jeffs.
Oof, long drive, but I am home, in Belmont, and I have my wireless working.
I thought Nutty was referring to strictly British rules with her "Jeffs's" example.

I didn't think Jeffs's was possible in a two Jeff situation, although as the flip side of Susan's coin, I would have understood it to mean something belonging to a guy named Jeffs, and the format would have bugged me.
I'd want "findyourspot.com" if I were researching a move, which I'm not. At the moment. I'm looking for a more academic bent on things.
I can't even remember the damn name of what I'm looking for. Arrrgh. I'm going to have to call my dad and ask for help on my homework.
A cute little house down the street from us looks like it was foreclosed on by the state. No "For Sale" sign, but there is a placard in the window, the house is padlocked and is empty.
The county auditor's website says it's owned by HUD. It's totally affordable for a rental if it's for sale. But how do I find out if the house is going to be sold? Or auctioned off? Will a call to HUD give me the information I need?

Dana, is this what you're thinking of?
Hmm. I'm not sure, but it looks fascinating regardless. I'll definitely check it out. Thanks.
