Thanks! See you!

You can omit apostrophe S in these cases.

See you!

My boss’s car/ My boss’ car.
The waitress’s job/ The waitress’ job.

Com relação ao genitive case ambas estão corretas. Porém na primeira eu colocaria o artigo “a” antes de “Johnny”. Ficaria assim “I am a Johnny’s fan”.

Bons estudos

That’s a grammar rule I was in doubt.

“When speaking of the type of handle used for a door, you would say the door handle. But the door’s handle could be used when speaking of a particular door–that is, when the with the emphasis on the door itself–as in, Not only did it need to be stripped and repainted, but the door’s handle was rusty.

It’s not appropriate to refer to the door as an “owner” of the handle, as you imply in your message. The term possessive case is thus misleading: Using the term genitive case instead helps one to avoid the myth that the marker ‘s cannot be used with inanimate objects. As Kenneth G. Wilson points out, in his Columbia Guide to Standard American English under the article Descriptive Genitive, “In fact, the genitive case–in English as in Latin before it–has always had many more purposes than simply indicating possession, and descriptive (and other nonpossessive) genitives are and long have been Standard English.” Wilson gives as examples of the descriptive genitive the mountain’s top and a day’s pay.”

The door was on the left side of the room. The door’s handle was red.”

Compare: The door’s handle is read, but the drawers’ handles are yellow.

Both ‘car’ and ‘dress’ in the examples from Strunk’s style manual and the grammar page which cites (Bedford 36a/Hodges’ 15a) confirm the use of ‘s after inanimate nouns to show possession.

http://www.bartleby.com/68/26/5226.html says the following about possessives: “The possessive or genitive case in nouns adds apostrophe (’) plus s in the singular, s plus apostrophe in the plural. The pronunciations are not always as distinctive as the spellings: boys, boy’s bike, boys’ bikes; dresses, this dress’s skirt, these dresses’ skirts.”

- The price of a university education in The U.S. is extremely high. poderia ser usado perfeitamente o education´s price porque era o “price of education”

então tudo que era … of “alguma coisa” eu tentava usar o ‘S
