→Apostrophes: possessives after double s http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Yu-Gi-Oh!_talk:Manual_of_style?diff=2298588
* ''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>
If a word ends in a double s, such as goddess, an apostrophe and an s are appended. However an abstract noun followed by sake, does not use the extra s.
'''Examples'''
* ''Correct'': <span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; color: #006F00;">Goddess's Punishment</span>
* ''Incorrect'': <span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; color: #B20000;">Goddess' Punishment</span>
* ''Correct'': <span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; color: #006F00;">For goodness' sake</span>
* ''Incorrect'': <span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; color: #B20000;">For goodness's sake</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.
