Hello! Today’s tiny tidbit is from But Can I Start a Sentence with “But”? Advice from the Chicago Manual of Style Q&A. Like the signs below (from our May contest), this Q&A made me laugh.
Question: Is there an acceptable way to form the possessive of words such as Macy’s and Sotheby’s? Sometimes rewording to avoid the possessive results in less felicitous writing.
Answer: Less felicitous than Sotheby’s’s? I don’t think so.
And here are some more photos from our May contest:
