Eh? If you mean the terminal apostrophe on “Woods'” (and “Powers'”), that was standard usage when I was growing up – writing “Woods’s” would have looked and sounded wrong. Maybe it’s changed now – these things do, apparently.

It kinda fits, too, because so many Japanese pronounce my name “Maiko” anyway. Except for the once who get as far as “Maikeru”.
