Roast Media Shakes Head, Part 7

[malcheski]

If the caption on that footy magazine is Only a flag will do, they spelt 'Only' wrong.

Its even worse than that

 

[Capital Power]

LOL, the Brownlow Medallist (complete with typo in his name) on the same front page as a guy suspended for racism. That sounds about right. You'll forgive me if I hang on to my $7.95?

Clearly the Advertiser has done away with editors. Not that journalistic standards in this country are particularly high

I see what you did there.

 

[Grave Danger]

That's so disrespectful to the Bornlow medallist winner.

That's so disrespectful to the Bornlow medallist winner.

Ollie Wine of Port Power medalled first in the Brownlow Award despite versing some of the bestest players in the competition.

Wine's should be Wines'

Actually it should be Wines's. Ollie is an individual.

Actually it should be Wines's. Ollie is an individual.

As Wines is a singular noun in the plural form, it is Wines’. It is an exception to the general rule where nouns that end in s uses s’s. Also, journalists use Associated Press Style, so even if Wines was a singular noun, they would use Wines’.

Normally correct but not quite that simple.

Saying the phrase 'Ollie Wines's team' (i.e. with 2 ss's) doesn't sound right does it. Because it isn't.

A name ending in s takes only an apostrophe if the possessive form is not pronounced with an extra s.

We don't say Wines's team (phonetically Wineses), and so we don't write the extra s.

The correct spelling is Wines' team just as you would say it - i.e. no extra s and the possessive apostrophe after the s

Sleezy is right.

Wines is a proper noun, singular.

What do you call Ollie's family, the plural form?

Wines's team sounds right to me.

The Wines' family.

 

[Steve Dore]

The Wines' family.

I meant a group of Wines, eg Ollie Wines, Mother Wines, Father Wines, Sister Wines.

Possessive is not plural.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Ollie Wongs

Possessive is not plural.

See:

Possessives : The Apostrophe

www.sussex.ac.uk

A name ending in s takes only an apostrophe if the possessive form is not pronounced with an extra s. Hence:

- Socrates' philosophy

- Saint Saens' music

- Ulysses' companions

- Aristophanes' plays

- Wines' team

But seriously no one really gives a toss in 2022. Just make sure the apostrophe is after his family name - Wines' or Wines's whatever floats your boat and gets your meaning across.

Wineses sounds like Hobbitses.

That's giving me George Costanza glamour mag vibes.

A bunch of head shakers

Tricksy little Wineses
