<p>When you’re talking about possession with a person whose name ends with an S, is it</p>
<p>Marcus’s urine
or
Marcus’ urine?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>damn dude out of all the words whyd you choose to use urine?</p>
<p>Please answer the question.</p>
<p>Both are considered correct. Word nerds have incredibly heated debates about this. Google it to see what I mean-- there’s really no consistent answer. I’ve personally always been taught Marcus’s, since it’s apostrophe-s for anything singular. It gets really complicated though.</p>

If the singular noun happens to end in one S or even two, you still just add an apostrophe and an S: the bosss desk.

<p>So I would do Marcus’s urine.</p>
<p>Weird, I thought is was Marcus’</p>
<p>It’s Marcus’. An s’s is just redundant.</p>
<p>I was taught Marcus’ in elementary school. Not saying the other is wrong.</p>
<p>I suppose then I can confidently employ both methods without being penalized by my English instructor; thank you, scholars.</p>
