**Wawa and other grammar sticklers**
I'm just double checking--if I'm writing about, oh, say, a caramel cake I made. And the recipe is from a woman named Gladys, I would write this is Gladys' Caramel Cake, right? The question being about the placement of apostrophe and lack of possessive s. Anything else looks dumb and I'm 99.9% sure, I just don't want to be a fool all over the name Gladys.
Re: **Wawa and other grammar sticklers**
Yes, that's right.
Outloud you'd most likely say Gladys's, but that's definitely not how it's written.
For some reason that's one of those rules I fudge up all the time. I think it's just typing though, my pinkie finger wants to add apostrophes before every "s".

Awesome. Thanks.
Now that you mention it, I'm trying to think of how I would say it outloud. I think I'd say it Gladys's but trail off at the the end to avoid sounding like I had a stutter.
Also, I saw a funny eggcorn the other day: some girl wrote "I shutter to think what would happen" and I thought of you

Just to be a Devil's Advocate, from the Purdue style guide:
add 's to the singular form of the word (even if it ends in -s):
The Chicago Manual of Style is for using just an apostrophe. That's good enough for me.

I am late to this but I agree with Gladys'.
But what IS the correct way to say that outloud? This comes up often for me because DH's godson is named James so I'm often writing James' and saying James's and feeling like that's not the right way to say it...
