We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the

saying something like:
Let's see Dennis's hysterical response.
Look out the grammer police will get you.
It's perfectly correct, you ignoramus.
I thought it should read Dennis'
Wrong.
So you are lumping all the people named Dennis in one with me

No, you are one of a kind. You are not plural, therefore adding 's for
the possesive is correct.


Not necessarily. Opinions are divided.

The general guide - not rule - is to follow the spoken form. If you
would say 'denisses schizophrenia' then dennis's is the most apprropiate
form, but of you were to say 'dumars books' you would make it Dumas' books.

Since no one hear ever talks about dennis, its hard to say which would
work better.
