Criminal Sentence 328: Getting the Name Right

One of the top Belgian tennis players is named Kim Clijsters. Note the "s" on the end.

Seen on ESPN2's Australian Open tennis coverage when the camera panned onto Kim's husband:

"Clijster's husband"

This caption suggests Kim's last name is Clijster, which is not correct. Just move the apostrophe after the complete name:

"Clijsters' husband"
