***** Usage notes
- The word _sake_ is virtually only used in constructions of the form "for X's sake" or "for the sake of X", where X is a noun (see the quotations above, for sake of , and for the sake of ).
- Garner's _Modern American Usage_ notes it is common to write an (unpronounced) apostrophe rather than apostrophe–ess in this construction when the noun ends in an /s/ or /z/ sound: _for appearance' sake , for goodness' sake_ .
