I went to school in the 60's and we were taught the apostrophe for possession comes after the s. Janes' book is there. Jane's running would represent the missing letter. So, has this changed? I have noticed none of the writing aps I use automatically accept Janes', they reject it as misspelled. It is highlighted red here as I type, indicating a misspelling. Is this new? Am I so old I remember wrong? What's the deal?
