It's all marketing BS; everyone knows that any word that ends with an "s" has an apostrophe after it; it's Prius' damnit!

Actually, "everyone" may know that, but it is in fact wildly inaccurate. That applies to possessives, not plurals. Plurals of words ending in "s" are "ses". Hence "Williamses", which is a word my father frequently derided as stupid when delivered by James Allen, is, in fact, correct. "The Williamses' tyres" is correct. Prius ought to be Priuses as a plural, with the possessive plural as Priuses' and the singular possessive as Prius's.


We're discussing the english grammar in the automotive forum under the "What is Toyota up to" thread. Talk about F1 withdrawal symptoms.... :hehe:
