3.9. Spelling

The Press standard for spelling is The Canadian Oxford Dictionary. Where more than one spelling is given there, the first is to be preferred.

In forming the possessive case, add an apostrophe and s. Plural nouns ending in s constitute the one exception to this rule: they take an apostrophe alone. When, by convention, a proper name is expressed in italic type, its possessive ending is normally set in roman.
