Never heard of that clause-- it's always been based on #syllables-- but yes, it's a "shitty" grammar rule either way.
I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but when would you not pronounce two s noises in a possessive of a word ending in 's'?

Rendo Surefoot's intro: - sow seeds, not sew seeds; - Nalatos's --> Nalatos' - "there has been some strange happenings" --> "there have been" |

Sarcasm font? In any event, FWIW I was taught that one syllable is apostrophe-s, three or more syllables is s-apostrophe, and two syllables can be either way (both are correct). |

It's one of those shitty grammar rules. I seem to see a different rule every time I look it up. I've heard it depends on how you pronounce it. So if you pronounce two s noises, use s's. |
