But St. Bernard does not own the church named after him, and it is perpetrating a misuse. I do understand the basilica di san pietro bit, but that is Italian. Does the apostrophe s mean possesion? Or am I just totally confused? ----please, draw me a sheep---- Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Entire Thread Subject Posted By Posted the apostrophe as discussed today in wordsmith.
