[edit] Possessive apostrophe

I refer Khaosworks to Apostrophe#Basic_principles:_possessive_apostrophe. " Lewis' " sounds better than " Lewis's " to me... Bondegezou 11:04, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

From that section: "In general, a good practice is to follow whichever spoken form is judged best: Boss's shoes, but Mrs. Jones' hat. In many cases, both spoken and written forms will differ between people (but see "Possessive form of words ending in s" below).""So let's look at that: Apostrophe#Possessive_form_of_words_ending_in_s and see what people like the Economist and the Guardian recommend. And consider how a person would actually pronounce it: "Lewisss own" or "Lewises own"? --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 13:26, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

The two pronunciations are "Lewis own" and "Lewises own". I accept there is no right or wrong choice between them, but I prefer the former. Bondegezou 13:45, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Semi-autobiographical

I've removed the assertion that the book is semi-autobiographical. There's nothing else to back this up here and no citation. And it sounds very unlikely in a PDA. For it to be so, the author would have to have included substantial elements from his own life and almost certainly a character that is closely based on himself. Merely having recognisable location elements and background details gathered by Lewis when he lived in the area does not make it semi-autobiographical. If it is semi-autobiographical, please reinsert it with citation. (But this would be so unusual in a Doctor Who story that it be worth expanding on.) Klippa (talk) 10:51, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
