National Grammar Day

Here's an interesting grammar rule for you. If you make a word possessive that ends in ss, you add 's, but only if the next word doesn't begin with an s. If the next word begins with an s, then just add an apostrophe. The idea is that you can have an s three times in a row, but not four times. For example:

boss's desk
boss' salary
