Real laws, yet funny (For Bram's, or anyone's, collection of signature quotes)

Since March 2007, it is a real standing law in the US state of
Arkansas (whose name is to be pronounced as "Arkansaw"), that the
"possessive" (i.e. genitive) form of the state's name must be written
«Arkansas's» and not «Arkansas'». (I'm using French quotes to
emphasize the difference with the apostrophe).

Reference: Arkansas Apostrophe Act, mentioned in ABC News [USA] on 6
March 2007, see item 38 under
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostrophe#References

Best regards,
Tony.
