I am lost

As the TOR readership well knows, our first language wasn't English. Now that is no excuse for the butchering we do to the English Language but might explain how an otherwise immature daily rant looks to our readers. We will consistently mess up than/then and their/there/they're but that's probably the least of our worries. See we know the difference but when not fully engaged we fall back into bad habits like using its instead of it's

The irony is that when we read publications with riddled with spelling mistakes, we are the first to criticize and assume the content is probably near worthless.
Well we are trying to mae a conscious effort to bring the writing from a 3rd grade level to a 6th grade level, which we think will properly match the content but we'll see some help.

When you are trying to add possession to a noun which ends in "s" how does the punctuation work!

From what I understand the second one is more right, although the first is deemed acceptable but when somebody with my history uses the second one nobody will assume it is right. Since the s's looks wrong even if it isn't people will look at the author and when they realize that person is me they just assume I had no idea and just started throwing our random punctuation..

This seems like one of those rules where you are damned if you do and damned if you don't.
