    I’m from the school that says Harris’ is settled law and it’s Walz’ vs. Walz’s that needs litigated.

    The cool thing about English is that there are no rules. Grammar, spelling, pronunciation, these are guides to assist with being understood. But our communication evolves over time, and as long as you are able to communicate clearly, it doesn’t really matter if you’re “technically correct.”

    I’ve got like 6 different grammatical errors in that paragraph. Now seven. Can you spot all eight?

      Yeah I don’t get the confusion either. I was taught in school pretty plainly that " s’ " is only used on plural words that end in S. So it would always be “Harris’s”.
