 No, the correct title is '''James's''' Weezing. '''James'''' Weezing would be if there was more than one James owning the Weezing. <span style="background:#5CDDFF">[[Image:Ani234MS.gif]][[User:Theryguy512|<span style= color:#FF0000>M</span><span style= color:#177245>E</span><span style= color:#FF0000>R</span><span style= color:#177245>R</span><span style= color:#FF0000>Y</span>]] [[Image:Ani385MS.gif]] [[User talk:Theryguy512|<span style= color:#177245>C</span><span style= color:#FF0000>H</span><span style= color:#177245>R</span><span style= color:#FF0000>I</span><span style= color:#177245>S</span><span style= color:#FF0000>T</span><span style= color:#177245>M</span><span style= color:#FF0000>A</span><span style= color:#177245>S</span>]][[Image:Ani225MS.gif]]</span> 22:33, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 :No, I'm fairly certain he's right.  When you have a name that ends in s, you're supposed to put the apostrophe after it without adding a second, possessive s.  --[[User:Dual|Dual]] 08:01, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
-::In some forms of English, that's correct. No one can really come to a consensus. But really, why would you leave out the apostrophe-s? Is it more than one Jame owning a Weezing? No. It's James owning a Weezing. James's Weezing. Besides, how do you ''say'' it? I personally have always said it as "jame-zez". Plus, it'd make a HUGE exception to the anime Pokémon template. {{:User:TTEchidna/sig}} 08:59, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

-::Aha! Found it. "Many English writers have adopted the nonstandard usage (even in formal writing) of adding only an apostrophe for the singular possessive of a noun ending in "s". Pronouns do not combine with ’s to form possessives; there are a range of possessive pronouns used instead." Meaning, pretty much, that as long as people are correcting "and" at the beginning of a sentence, "James's" is correct. Plus, it came from "his", according to the [[wp:Saxon genitive|'kipedia article]] on 's, and we're not removing the 't from "shouldn't", now are we? {{:User:TTEchidna/sig}} 09:04, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
