die

this is James' car is correct, you avoid unnecessary space.

this is James's car looks so stupid

james' looks fucking retarded because it looks like you're saying "james" is a family name, and the car belongs to the entire james family—the only time you EVER leave out the "s" is if you're referring to a group

james's makes it clear that you're only referring to a single person, and it's consistent with how you pronounce it

who gives a fuck about "unnecessary space," clarity is more important than efficiency

why?

So if my understanding is right then its spelt like this

Class's . The additional s is added because the s before it is pronounced, so another is required after the apostrophe to show the change in sound.

The exception to this rule is if the s before the apostrophe is silent.

You also dont need to add the additional s if the word used has the same sound as it does in plural and verbally....for instance boys. You'd spell it as boys' not boys's

Its all about common sense to how something is pronounced.

Except the English language has never been concerned with spelling things the way they're actually pronounced.

it still has a baseline, and the faggy s' shit violates that baseline

The extra s is redundant as the sound is already implied, and it just looks weird.

you look weird

how is the sound implied, all it makes me think of is group possession
