If the apostrophe comes after an S do you drop the following S? Like is it...

"She was standing in Tess' apartment."

or...

"She was standing in Tess's apartment."

Thanks! :3

depends if it's singular or not i think

You definitely drop the S.

It's most fashionable to drop the extra 's' now but used to be different.

dropping the extra 's' is a black thing, they also drop the 's' on possessives, except for when it's not needed like saying "mines"..."that daquan phone, but dis mines"

i didnt make a value judgement, just telling you where that comes from

I don't drop it because I think it's stupid. Seriously, there's no good grammatical (non-aesthetic) reason to not add the 's.

grammar evolves

If this isn't a joke, the real answer:

Drop "s" after plural ending in "s"
Keep "s" after singular ending in "s"

According to the undergrad grammar course I attended last semester you should always keep the s at the end, the only exception being in the case of well-known historical figures. (Australia btw)
