so, let's say i'm writing something like.....
"Caroline's sister's car's ashtray..."
does every item require an apostrophe?
cuz it doesn't look right.

Hello James, i think it is more right to say: The ashtray of the car of Caroline's sister.
probably right....
god, sometimes english is a cruel, frustrating mistress.
Haha! Never stop trying :)
Hi!
I would simply say Caroline's sister's car ashtray, which means the car ashtray of Caroline's sister.
What do you think?
I really hope this will help you.
Have a nice day,
Marco
still seems like the 2 apostrophes are superfluous.
you're probably right though.
