Example; Russ is my brother. Russ' bedroom is always a mess. Marty is my other brother. And Marty's room is much cleaner.

I'm wondering if your auto correct function is considering the s to be the last letter in the name.

"And Marty's room is much cleaner."

So this should NOT be:

"And Martys' room is much cleaner."?

Huh. Brain... fading... memory... gone... assumptions... wrong...
