::I second that their name should be Diaz's Gang. what's hard with spelling it that way? I guess you tried to say pronounce it? Neither that is hard either. Pretty easy spelling after all. --''[[User talk:GTA4PC|San Andreas Master]]'' 18:13, 14 April 2008 (UTC) | ::I second that their name should be Diaz's Gang. what's hard with spelling it that way?

Good enough for me. If it is unnamed, it would just be "Diaz's gang", but our titles are always in title case, so that's why the page is at "Diaz's Gang". By spelling I was referring to the z-apostrophe-s. Technically it should be treated like an s, and be <code>Diaz' Gang</code>, but a lot of modern (and many American) English sources only do that with a possessive ''plural'', so belonging to three pencils is <code>pencils'</code> instead of <code>pencils's</code>, but <code>Chris's</code> is allowed. This rule conforms to how it is pronounced, where you only add the sound "-es" once, either for plural or possessive, and you don't stack them up (pencil, pencils, pencilses), although this technically wrong in English spelling. I have opted for the simple option to keep it as pronounced (as described above) - [[w:c:gta:User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] ([[:w:c:gta:User_talk:Gboyers|?]]) 21:21, 14 April 2008 (UTC) | |||
