        I have had my IHWA-01 for best part of 5 years now.  When I got it, put it on a IH-WS1 - Iron Heart Watch Strap.

        I have swum 100's of miles in salt water, done 100's of scuba dives, fished hard in the tropcs and generally mistreated the shit out of it.  It's actually got loads of life left in it, but I decided to go a tad off-piste…..

        Long live the king…

              Green's my favorite color. Also, green & black is the colors of the Atreide's flag (geek much?).

              Now you need to sponsor a green x black denim shirt. No other option.  😉

                      Sigh.

                      House Atreides, so no apostrophe.  Or if your're going for the possessive, it would be Atreides', or Atreides's, depending on which grammatical convention you prefer.

                      Kwisatz Haderach.

                      You people are forcing me to simultaneously  be sci fi and grammar pedantic.

                              I wasn't aware both were considered acceptable…I just assumed one was tolerated because of how often it was misused.

                                Style guides seem to indicate that both are acceptable, though one or the other is "recommended."

                                It appears that it can also be dependent on whether the name ending in s is for a singular or plural subject, so going with the above example, it would be

                                Paul Atreides's flag

                                To be safe, I'm just going to call it the flag of House Atreides from now on, because I'm now all confused and paranoid.

                                  I think the first step is admitting it, so good on you.

                                  For my part I couldn't be fagged trying to spell it and instead fekked up a cut and paste. Bite me  😉

                                    As written conventions both are acceptable, even the OED says so. But people who would use Atreides's are idiots, regardless of what the OED says.

                                      haha I remember coming across this issue while writing a note several years ago and the page ended up being full of scratched out "s's" and "s'".

                                        As someone with both a first and last name that ends in s, far too much of my life has been spent worrying about this issue (and the correct way to pluralize words ending in s).
