I'd love to have your input on this: When you are writing the possessive form of someone's proper name and their name ends in an S, what do you do? For example, is it "Weiss' hand" or "Weiss's hand" ??? I've seen people say the former is correct and I've seen people say that the latter is more correct. I am terribly confused. I always used the former, but recently I've started using the latter since several people have told me that is the right way. Or does it not really matter as long as you are consistent and stick with one?
