“Enthusiasm” has always been a “flex” for GOP these recent elections.

Is that similar to a noise meter at events?

The enthusiasm equals 2 football fields plus 6 cubits.

    Harris’s*

    You only drop the s after an apostrophe if the first s is the result of a pluralization.

    Harris is singular.

      Hurry!

      Write a letter to ABC.

      Also, it depends on PREFERENCE, which only one of us is aware of.

      “American English” is pidgin English, so there’s that.

      The Associated Press Stylebook says the correct way to write the possessive case of Chris is Chris’, not Chris’s. Other style guides, including the Chicago Manual of Style, say Chris’s is correct. If there isn’t a specific guidebook you need to follow, you can use either Chris’ or Chris’s.Oct 10, 2022

        If you compare the two styles with logic instead of habit, one of them is clearly superior.

        The only reason the AP style is accepted by many is because most people are incapable of critical inquiry.

          Lay your critical shit on me!
          I’m truly curious how writing an unnecessary letter is logical and expedient!
