    Apostrophes
    Guidelines:
    If there is one owner the apostrophe goes before the “s”.
    If there is more than one owner then it goes after the “s” unless the plu-
    ral noun does not end in an “s”.

    If the owner has an irregular plural and does not end “s” then the apostrophe goes after
    the complete plural noun but before the “s”.
