I need help from an English major

zsazsa-stl

I always confuse myself on this.  Is it Bob's & Mary's house or Bob & Mary's house?

Bob and Mary's.

*disclaimer: I am not an English major. Not even close.

Technically? Bob's and Mary's house.

Honestly, even I would give a pass to Bob and Mary's house, because you can argue that "Bob and Mary" are one unit. And because that's how everyone says it aloud.
