Is the banjo steering wheel the bus's or the bus' ?
As the newly self-appointed fourm spelling, grammar and punctuation teacher, allow me:

Busses or buses is a matter of style, both are correct, choose the one you prefer and use it consistently.

It is the bus's wheel. You only use a hanging apostrophe when it is a plural possessive, ie, the buses' wheels.

:hangloose:
I knew the busses vs buses one actually, or at least, I knew they consider both correct, I just wondered if someone else knew different. At least we're consistent...

So have you read the Iliad? It's by the Simpsons... starring Brad Pit...

I knew my hanging apostrophe mistype would come back to haunt me, especially since it was in the title...
