	Because of the recent edit and revert and because Sanderses' sounds kind of weird to me, I did a search on this again. I found a site that explains that when a last name ends in a hard "z" sound, you usually don't add an "s" or the "-es" and simply add an apostrophe: "the Chambers' new baby."

	Grammar and spelling are basically the only things we can correct the producers on, unless it is used for a proper name or title. A good example is that the movie ''Honey, I Shrunk the Kids'' should be ''Honey, I've Shrunk the Kids'' or ''Honey, I Shrank the Kids'', but since it's a title, it doesn't get corrected. Also, some cities and towns used in ''Heroes'' are named slightly differently than irl but they don't get corrected cause we know it is an intentional error. However, the Sanderses' home being misspelled in a transcript written by a fan doesn't count as an intentional misspelling.--[[User:MiamiVolts\|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts\|talk]]) 23:40, 14 October 2007 (EDT)		Grammar and spelling are basically the only things we can correct the producers on, unless it is used for a proper name or title.

There is no way in which the plural of "Sanders" is "Sanders", and there's no way the possessive of "Sanderses" is "Sanders'". Personally, I wouldn't be opposed to rewording our names to avoid the issue, because "Sanderses" does ''sound'' awkward. But it's still correct.--[[User:Hardvice\|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice\|(talk)]]</small> 17:50, 15 October 2007 (EDT)
	****I normally go for practicality over technicality, but in the case of language, you have to favor the proper way versus the common way. I know we're not a dictionary like Wikipedia, but I think using proper English just solidifies this site as reputable versus a regular fan site with a multitude of spelling errors. And I'll still use y'all.--[[User:Baldbobbo\|Bob]] 18:06, 15 October 2007 (EDT)		****I normally go for practicality over technicality, but in the case of language, you have to favor the proper way versus the common way.

	== Re: Producers' Grammar ==		== Re: Producers' Grammar ==
	Grammar and spelling are basically the only things we can correct the producers on, unless it is used for a proper name or title. A good example is that the movie ''Honey, I Shrunk the Kids'' should be ''Honey, I've Shrunk the Kids'' or ''Honey, I Shrank the Kids'', but since it's a title, it doesn't get corrected. Also, some cities and towns used in ''Heroes'' are named slightly differently than irl but they don't get corrected cause we know it is an intentional error. However, the Sanderses' home being misspelled in a transcript written by a fan doesn't count as an intentional misspelling.--[[User:MiamiVolts\|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts\|talk]]) 23:40, 14 October 2007 (EDT)		Grammar and spelling are basically the only things we can correct the producers on, unless it is used for a proper name or title.
