Drew Brees's Bedroom

Now go give mommy a kiss and run along. Have a good day at school. Maybe you'll learn something in English today. Like how to say Brees' instead of Brees's.

 

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but "Brees'" is incorrect.  When a personal name ends in "s," the conventional view is that an extra "s" is required, to wit, Brees's.  One minor, rarely-used exception is when the personal name is multisyllabic, e.g., Sophocles.  In such case, the "s" is omitted:  Sopholces'.  Makes sense because it would sound weird with the additional "s."  Otherwise, most plural nouns ending in "s" omit the additional "s" as you have suggested to the OP, and you only need add the apostrophe:  the dogs' cage.

 

It gets a little trickier when you deal with sports teams, so, see this post:  https://www.lawprose.org/blog/?p=2285

Please, make the poll.

Lets do it.

I'm not making anything. I'll get banned regardless, in fact I'm surprised I haven't been banned yet today after admitting that this is my alt account.

The difference between you and me though is that if you got banned, it would absolutely crush you. All your hard work, all the time you spent, all the thought you've given, and all your pie. I just wanna be here to talk football and talk smack to trolls. Like I said I run a fantasy league here too so I like to stay in touch with my guys.

Unless you wanna risk losing your number one hobby to me, I'd advise you to move along an preten you never saw me.
