Occasionally, the late, great (and acerbic) Florence King was critical of NR's punctuation. NR insists on "Charles's birthday," for example, and not "Charles' birthday." (That is the first rule in Strunk & White, too.) She torched one of NR's overbearing editors for being "an apostrophe-ess-hole." ~:)
