Did everyone just forget how to use apostrophes? If the word ends in an S then you don't add another S after the apostrophe to make it possessive. But I see people doing this all the time

Wrong, you don't add an extra S if the word ends in an S AND is plural
Jonathan Perez

Matthew Howard
yeah you do, like said
But there are weird rules for this, so you can probably find exceptions to the rules

That's a dialectic difference, user.
AE: James's car
BE: James' car
The problem is the abysmal teaching standards for grammar and usage these days. Make kids diagram sentences again. Learn rhetoric.
Nathaniel Myers
Dude, if someone's name is James and you want to make their name possessive it's just "James" not "James's", this is always how it's been

In the real world absolutely no one cares about proper grammar and punctuation unless they are writing formal or professional documents. Also I'm pretty sure the average person here in the US writes well below grade level and doesn't even know what an apostrophe is.

Shitskins and american faggots who are too low IQ to understand basic rules.
This doesn't simply happen in Europe.
