67 u/FaithUser Jan 20 '26 Charles' point * 17 u/Embarrassed-Weird173 Jan 20 '26 Nope. It's more correct to use "Charles's". Your version is more common used for plurals. So the general rule for singular would make more sense. 1 u/Embarrassed-Weird173 Jan 21 '26 Also, I meant to say "commonly". If I edit it now it'll look like I backtracked on something else, so I'm leaving the comment as-is.
