Also, I don't know if you guys are current on the 16th edition of the Chicago Manual of Style (which is completely thrown out in writing this blog):
Names ending with an “eez” sound
Names like Xerxes or Euripides now form the possessive in the usual way—with an apostrophe s. (When these forms are spoken, however, the additional s is generally not pronounced.) 7.18
So I guess we now write Jesus's instead of Jesus'. Seems like an awfully cheeky thing for a language to do--making Jesus possessive. I don't trust those Chicagoans--look what kind of TV they make: http://facesofthelastseasonofoprah.tumblr.com/
aaahhh what? they can't just make rules like that. although i'm okay with them making "internet" lowercase and "website" one word.
