What's the possessive of Harris?

Harris' or Harris's?

Walz' or Walz's?

Markus' or Markus's?


In other news, the 11th Circuit issued this opinion yesterday, with each judge also writing a concurring opinion.  Three concurring opinions... by Rosenbaum, Newsom, and Luck.  Happy reading.

Harris's. Singulars that end in an "s" are followed by an apostrophe and then another "s" when in the possessive form. See APA style guide: https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/grammar/possessive-nouns

Harris’ and Walz’s. Just looks right.

Wrong rarely, if ever, looks right.
