Graves' disease - Cindy Posted: Jan 15th, 2018 - 3:37 pm In Reply to: I’d use agraves’ - Debbie
I was just reading the BOS3 -- something I do when I'm trying to get to sleep (hee, hee).
Everybody's right. Surely, if the client wants Graves' disease, give them Graves' disease.
If you go by the BOS3, it's:
Graves disease IF the word "disease" follows Graves. However, it would be Graves' in the following sentence:
The patient had a 6-year history of Graves'.
You use the apostrophe when Graves is used on its own.
Grave's is always covered in wrong sauce.
