UK postcode address is only


I wanted to buy something from a store in the UK, and was disappointed to see this on the site. No, wait a minute – I was delighted to see it!

    But the word ends with an “s,” so isn’t the apostrophe OK?

    Nouns ending in s, z, ch, sh, and x call for an “es” in the plural form. This added syllable makes pronunciation easier.

    The word address should be plural here. So, addresses is the correct word usage. This is not a possessive. There is some tendency to get confused with the words that end in s too. There is a good episode of Seinfeld on this. Sorry, but I couldn’t underline or italicize the name of the show.

    Unfortnately that’s not the only mistake they made.
