I know I’m really late with this, but I just discovered this cite by cabbey and was a bit amused about the irony of his/her misspelling of the word “grammar” in his/her comment about the punctuation used in the original article.

@cabbey: both forms are valid, it’s a matter of “house style”. For example, the AP uses “Davis’” and the Chicago Manual of Style uses “Davis’s”. I was taught the former use, but I think I like the latter use better as it is unambiguous and more closely matches the pronunciation.

Should not that be “William Davis’ Lincoln’s Men” instead? It is a bit ironic to find a goof like that on a blog about grammer.

I just had to do this one right away, because photoshopping Abraham Lincoln’s head onto a pregnant woman sounded like so much fun.
