Apostrophes in Geographical Names

The external link cited here does not use the apostrophe. Does any expert on Canadian place names know what is official? (I'm getting enough of a fight with Jtdirl over American place names, where I know what is official, so I'm not about to change this until I can get some guidance from the Canadians!) -- BRG July 23

As much as I dislike inappropriate apostrophe use, I would have to say that most of the official Canadian sources (e.g. Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources) cite the river's name as St. Marys River. To add confusion, the local paper mill here in the Sault is St. Mary's Paper. FUNgus guy 11:54, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Canadian Post Office probably has a similar rule to that of the U.S. Postal Service (and other Federal agencies in both counties). Apostrophes are NOT used in geographical names, and also note the difficulty that apostrophes present on signs with the names printed vertically.

Hence, note these place names: the Devils Tower, the St. Johns River, Kings County, Kings Peak, Kings Point, Kingsport, Prince George County, Virginia, and the Borough of Queens.

There are some antique exceptions in the United States, such as Prince George's County, Maryland, and Queen Anne's County, Maryland.

Also, note that the original name of Frankfort, Kentucky, was "Frank's Ford", and the orginal name of Berlin, Maryland, was "Burleigh's Inn".

Make sure to note this one:

Concrete berm

"A concrete berm was constructed along the north side of the rapids as remedial works to protect fish spawning habitat from lower outflow through the rapids. This was due, in part, to an increase of water outflow from the three hydroelectric dams."

Wait, how does this make sense? Can someone describe how it protects the spawning habitat? If the outflow through the rapids is lower, wouldn't that actually help/protect the spawning grounds? Perhaps I'm not understanding what's being protected from what, or which side of the berm the grounds are supposed to be on. Criticalthinker (talk) 07:54, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
