Punctuation: Added a section on apostrophes. See the talk page for more information.
* ''Correct'': <span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; color: #006F00;">"Elemental HERO", "Destiny HERO" or "Evil HERO".</span>
* ''Incorrect'': <span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; color: #B20000;">"Elemental HERO", "Destiny HERO", or "Evil HERO".</span>
 
===Apostrophes===
Generally when forming possessives of words ending with the letter s, just add an apostrophe to the end, rather than an apostrophe and another letter s. More accurately speaking, if the word ends with an /s/ or /z/ sound, just append an apostrophe. If it does not end in an /s/ or /z/ sound, add an apostrophe and the letter s.
 
'''Examples'''
* ''Correct'': <span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; color: #006F00;">Horus' Servant</span>
* ''Incorrect'': <span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; color: #B20000;">Horus's Servant</span>
* ''Correct'': <span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; color: #006F00;">Debris's effect</span> ("debris" is pronounced /ˈdɛbɹiː/, /ˈdeɪbɹiː/ or /dəˈbɹiː/; [[commons:File:En-us-debris.ogg]])
* ''Incorrect'': <span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; color: #B20000;">Debris' effect</span>
 
As covered in the [[#Quotation marks|quotation marks]] section, when forming the possessive of a term in quotation marks, the sentence should be reformatted to avoid the apostrophe.
 
'''Examples'''
* ''Correct'': <span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; color: #006F00;">The effect of "Rescue Cat".</span>
* ''Incorrect'': <span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; color: #B20000;">"Rescue Cat"'s effect.</span>
* ''Incorrect'': <span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; color: #B20000;">"Rescue Cat's" effect.</span>
