As an aside, I don't wish to be pedantic but the plural of "bozo" isfor plurals.
"bozos". One of my pet peeves is seeing people use "'s"
"'s" denotes a possessive form of a noun or pronoun or acontraction of
a word and "is"--it does NOT indicate plurality:
That should be:
...a word and "is" or "has"...
Of course, "has" can be posessive, too, so I suppose I'm being redundant.
See? I even correct myself.

What about the "s'"?? can you explain on that. I keep getting confused over that one..
Ricks'
A bit OT for the subject :-), but the s' also indicates posessive in some context. As you put it here Ricks' is incorrect..
In most cases, words ending with s can be made posessive by adding the ' at the end. Note that Rick does not end in s, therefore Rick's would be correct.
I am not an english teacher, but I know there are examples that do not follow the normal rules.
