The original (EN) code is: <PossessiveProperNoun T="(s$)=$1'.$)=$1's:" /> which returns Alices and Charles'. But I wanted to get rid of the terminating apostroph.
I've tried following combinations but they don't deliver the expected result.
T="([sxz]$)=$1[^sxz])=$1s:" returns Aslice and CsharlesT="([sxz]$)=$1.$)=$1s:" returns Alices (OK) and CharlessT="(s$)=$1x$)=$1z$)=$1.$)=$1s:" returns Alices (OK) and Charless
Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?
PS: I was unable to use script56.chm as documented but found information at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/6wzad2b2.aspx
<PossessiveProperNoun T="([^ sxz]$)=$1s:" />
This code means: if not (the '^') ending (the '$') with s, x or z, append an 's' at the end.
I tried it with my tree and it looks OK.

Turns out that I forgot the "$" after "[^sxz]". That's the sort of error you don't see when you wrote it yourself.
