The Tyranny of the Majority (to quote [livejournal.com profile] samvimes)

[Poll #731318]

ETA: [livejournal.com profile] samvimes says "That's okay, I'm used to holding unpopular opinions" (not that I was, um, crowing about "winning" the poll or anything) and "At least it wasn't a clean sweep."

We are also giggling at the diplomats in the crowd who chose both James' and James's.

Actually the correct form is Jim's.

Except when the James in question never goes by Jim and doesn't like being called Jim... the only person who calls him Jim is his father, highlighting, um, something *cough* public post *cough*

Ah! In that case it would be Mr. J's.
