Its Gibbs, Not Gibb's

That is all i have to say, Gibbs not Gibb's.

If you want to talk to something belonging to Joe then it would be Gibbs's

Actually, if you wanted to say something belonged to Joe Gibbs, it would be "Gibbs' ".

Singular form (as in there is only one Joe Gibbs) then you would say this is Joe Gibbs's team. But in plural as in Joe and his sons, this is the Gibbs' racing team.

7th grade was too long ago, but the fact of the matter is there is no apostrophes in Gibbs.

actually Gibbs's is correct, believe it or not.

The point is that there are plenty of people on this board who rather not consult their dictionaries when writing posts. If we start harping on every dangling participle then things will get very dull around here. Besides, I often get a kick out of what people type when they are rushing to make a point. I think the Gibbs' would too!!!!

i forgot to add those in my previous post, sorry

Eh, it was just something that I have been seeing a lot lately, and sorry to sound anal about it but it just plain bugged me. How can you be such a die hard fan and not know how to spell the last name of the guy who pretty much put this team on the map, and is looking to take us back to glory.

redwagonskins · 03-17-2005, 01:19 AM

It's understandable and I guess we're lucky that we don't have Adewale Ogunleye on this team!
