I was going to say. What was the other choice? Edwardse's? Edwardian choice? WHAT!?!
OTOH: I do remember seing a headline referencing just Elizabeth that used Edwards', and not liking it because I'm a Strunk and White girl.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I like Edwardian choice. It makes it all sound so much fancier!
"....Well...well...it just LOOKS wrong!"
There really is no arguing with that.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh Steph, see how many of us would have backed you up? That's why I love buffistas. It's so rare to see good grammar appreciated.
I am inordinately pleased that I freaked out one of my sections today. Who knew college students were so squeamish?

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
See, if I had written that article I'd have figured out another headline so that it wasn't so awkward (even though it's right, you know a lot of readers think you screwed up).
Oh and HAPPY B-DAY, ALLYSON!

It was from an ita link, wasn't it?
This day needs to end. It started well enough, but new stuff just keeps piling up, that while neutral...is stuff!

What is even happening?
I would have argued for Edwards'. I understand the rule. I disagree with it.
Besides, it's really his choice, in the end.

Our wings are not tired.
I am no grammar expert, but Edwardses' looked perfectly right to me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Huh. The suckiness of Chicago's L system has made the NYT: A Rail System (and Patience) Are Stretched Thin in Chicago
eta: OK, this is funny:
A 30-ish father is having something of a rough time corraling his 5-year-old daughter on the Red Line north during rush hour.
She won't sit where he tells her. She wants to stand on the seat. She wants to kneel on the seat. She wants to stand in the aisle.
Finally, getting exasperated, he threatens her with a timeout and lectures her: "Remember, safety first." She slams back into the seat and taunts him:
"No! Safety last!"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
In searching for an article on my favourite twin story, I came across this which warmed the cockles of my heart.
