jayeffscene Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 So in this review I'm writing I use the following as a RIYL: ...how O’ Pioneers!!! music would sound if they were boring How do I show possession? This is what makes the most sense to me: O' Pioneers!!!'s I'll probably just end up changing the phrasing, but I'm curious now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanukichu Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Maybe it would just be easier to say "this band sounds like a boring O Pioneers!!!" I really don't think there would be any type of rule for this (that's well known anyways). I would probably do "O Pioneers!!!'" without the "s" since it's a plural and I always thought 's-es at the end of words that end with the letter "s" looked weird.

jayeffscene Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 I was gonna do that originally, but the singers sound nothing alike. I changed it to 'how the music of O’ Pioneers!!! would sound if they were boring' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayeffscene Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 My Heart to Joy.(Sorry Flood.) woah really? i really like this band! I really really dug their live show, but the album lacks the energy I remember. Except for the singer; dude kills it all the way through.

millen Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 If you consider O Pioneers!!! plural, it would have to be: O Pioneers!!!' music. So just the apostrophe. If you reason it's singular because it's a band name, it would be: O Pioneers!!!'s music. Because of the exclamation marks I would go with 's simply because it's easier to see/read. The exclamation marks don't change the rule of possession. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flood Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 My Heart to Joy.(Sorry Flood.) i don't care if you dislike them, thats your perogative. i just have no idea of why anyone would compare them to O Pioneers!!! I guess the same reason some people say they sound like HWM... which doesn't make any sense either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
