Talk:Left Behind (The Last of Us)

On the possessive of "Fireflies"
and other gentle readers, I invite you to weigh in on a topic of the gravest world-shaking importance; the possessive case of an organization with a plural name. In this edit, User:Rhain reverted my correction of "the Fireflies's violent philosophies" to "the Fireflies' violent philosophies", restoring the "Fireflies's" wording, and citing MOS:'S. I'm pretty sure Rhain is wrong here, and it should just be "Fireflies'". MOS:'S specifically states "For a normal plural noun, ending with a pronounced s, form the possessive by adding just an apostrophe (my sons' wives, my nieces' weddings)." Now "Fireflies" is the name of a group, which MOS:'S is not clear on, but I contend that it is still a plural noun for this purpose. Let me cite three examples from that most authoritative of sources, "a quick web search I did just now": --GRuban (talk) 17:35, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Plural Possessive Examples: The Simpsons’ spaceship (the spaceship belongs to the Simpson family; you make the family name plural to show that you’re referring to all of the family members)
 * For plural, proper nouns that are possessive, use an apostrophe after the 's': "The Eggles' presentation was good." The Eggles are a husband and wife consultant team.)
 * Consider the following exemplary company names: Texas Coffee Grounders ... Should one reference the possessive form of any of the above company names, where should the apostrophe be placed? E.g. Texas Coffee Grounders's head office is based in Houston. ...or... Texas Coffee Grounders' head office is based in Houston. A: I would say the second example was correct. A: ... Grounders' - Because you don't say 'Grounderses' when you read it out aloud. Refer to The Penguin Guide to Punctuation by RL Trask.
 * No discussion for a month, I'm going to be bold again and restore it. --GRuban (talk) 22:46, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
