Now that it's been brought up I need to ask a question. At another forum I mentioned two novels by Wilkie Collins I found on my wife's bookcase and referred to them as "the Collins's". Later I thought maybe I should have said the Collinses, or just the Collins. Truth to tell, I'm not sure which is correct:o. Any chance you (or anyone) might?
