CalifJim,

This question has been addressed a few times. Do know where we discussed this topic previously. I know I always used the "Actors Studio" as an example of where a famous organization does not use the apostrophe. Yet, when I search the archives, I come up empty.

Any ideas? I know the answer is that you can go either way. But I would like to find the discussion we had previously.

Thank you.

I recall your 'Actors Studio' example, but it's not in the thread I remember: Post:1393.

Hi MM,

Yeah, I reviewed the thread you mentioned. But we had covered this topic another thread, or threads. One of the threads was particularly good and complete. I am not sure if I used the Actors Sudio in that thread or not. In any event, I can't find it. I find the "search feature" very poor.

I believe we had covered Fireman's Association v. Firemans Association v Firemen's Association v. Firemen's Association and the like. I also believe that we had several examples that we played with.

Oh well, for a while we increased the order in the universe, but with the passing of time, entropy has once again inexorably increased.

If anyone else is able to shed some light, that'd be great.

I remember something like that, too, but I have not been able to locate it. Sorry. :(
