Reject Words

“Series” is a terrible word. It already sounds like a plural, there's no way to differentiate it from its plural, and trying to make it possessive just makes the matter worse. Same with “species”. “It’s hard to pronounce those species’ names.” Quick – how many species are we talking about? Would “specieses’” be any better?

Terrible.
