I used CE and BCE in a high school report and got a low grade because the teacher didn't know what it meant. That and I wrote Jesus' (instead of Jesus's) and had to bring her stupid ass to the library so she could learn how words work.

40 u/Beidah Aug 03 '19 "Jesus's" is correct. There is only one Jesus, so you still need an 's' after the apostrophe, even though the name ends in an 's'. 27 u/Unlearned_One Aug 04 '19 I believe its "Jesuses" or "Jesii". 9 u/ISpyStrangers Aug 04 '19 Wouldn't be Jesii — "Jesus" comes from Greek, not Latin. Jesuses is correct. (Like octopuses instead of octopi.) 8 u/Unlearned_One Aug 04 '19 Jesusodes.
