wait.  I thought that the possessive of an s-final thing was meant to be just s', not s's?  I mean, even if the stem-final -s wasn't the plural suffix?

Also wow I didn't know that Gram Parsons'(s) post-death happenings were so ... lurid.

 @a1dedbb4 It differs between US and UK usage, too. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_James%27s_Park

In the US it would be St. James’ Park, but as it’s a singular name, it gets a ’s in the UK.
