    Actually, [1] states that the latter form can be used only with
    /regular/ nouns ending in "s", but many people use the plural form
    "Emacsen", so, in current usage, "Emacs" is not a regular noun.

    It's worse than that: "Emacs" is a plural form used as singular.
    "Emacs" originally stood for "Editing macros".


It's not clear to me what is the right form to use.


In Emacs source code repository:

$ ag -H --nobreak --nofilename "Emacs' @" | wc -l
=> 0

$ ag -H --nobreak --nofilename "Emacs's @" | wc -l
=> 9

$ ag -H --nobreak --nofilename "Emacs @" | wc -l
=> 68

So, I think we should stick to “Emacs” or “Emacs's”.
