[Ads-l] Heard on FBI Files

[Wilson Gray]

Both  _-s'_ and _-s's_ used by the speaker in the same sentence:

"He took the screwdriver that he had found in _Charles'_ truck and used it
to kill _Charles's_ mother."

I've always thought that a person used one or the other, but not both.

Youneverknow.

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die!"---a strange complaint to
come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
