How many syllables are there in your pronunciation of the possessive in the sentence below?

Bess' dog goes to church with her.

(That possessive format is Associated Press style, in case you're not familiar with it. It is used in many newspapers in the US.)

This was such fun! And OMG, #38 across in your New Yorker puzzle yesterday! 😅😄🥳

Same for me: all sound like Josses.

If I’ve been putting 🤙 instead of 👍 anywhere weird, it’s because I couldn’t see the difference, not because I meant 🤙

Comment: I posted this one after hearing/seeing two different references to a six-time or four-time or something-time Grammy Awards winner. It sounded funny to me, as though the person had won the whole show!
