    Is it Jesus’s or Jesus’? I always thought the latter but so many people have been using the s’s I picked it up…

    Not sure, actually. You know, with the almost-divine intervention of an apostrophe, a single “s” can become multiplied … kind of like a weak attempt at doing the fishes and loaves thing, I suppose one might say.

    But, to underscore the orthographical difficulties involved, note that I had to rewrite that last sentence to avoid saying that apostrophes can really multiple s’es … now wouldn’t that have been confusing. How does one write the plural of “s”?

    As a sometime copywriter, I can miraculously reveal – by divine intervention – that it should be jesus’s. Fact.
