Good morning...  has there really been any recent progress toward an
agreement about the marking of genitive for singular nouns that end in s? I
keep finding disagreements and variations rather than consensus, mostly
because style manuals differ and make exceptions and have their own
particulars.

I'm personally stuck on the pronunciation more than the spelling; "That's T
ek-səs flag" in answer to the question "Which flag is that?" just sounds
awkward to me, as does "Those areˈJē-zəs disciples."

 Thank you...
