My wife and I's favorite show[edit]

I have removed it. I don't mean it is not heard, but I mean the analysis is wrong. The clitic ’s can attach to any determiner phrase meaning a possessor, and in this case it attaches to the phrase My wife and I. Consider the phrase the King of Sparta's wife, in which the King of Sparta is the possessor, not just Sparta. — TAKASUGI Shinji 16:37, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I see your argument. Apologies for misunderstanding your deletion. Also, we don't want to encourage such a silly usage! Dbfirs 19:08, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
