hello everyone, i just want to clear this up.
the question is, how is this Brian's song spelled?
queenlive.ca states that "Dreamers is often misspelled as Dreamer's", but on queenconcerts.com it is always spelled as "Dreamer's" as on my Jazz re-issue scans.
Can anybody make the last call?
p.s. i made a cruel mistake before with the album title, so i fixed it.

Grammatically speaking, it should be Dreamers' Ball (ball pertaining to more than one dreamer). As a PhD I think Brian would agree.

I think you've got it wrong there Ginger. That would make it a double pluralisation of the word dreamer. you don't have to add the ' because the s already shows that there is more than one dreamer.

well....how do we know that Dreamers is not a place? or a club titled Dreamers? No need to add anything extra if the name of the places is "Dreamers" .... If was called CJ... it would be the CJ Ball... which you could say both.... take me to the CJ ball, or CJ's Ball.....

The ' it's only used when you want to refer as "of something" to a word that already finishes with an S. For exemple: Montgomery Burns has a suit.Go and see[i][b] Burns' suit[/b][/i]

I was sitting watching tv last night and it just came to me that of course you are correct, forgive my ignorance.

OR - consider these:
1) It just happens to be the mandated title of the ball, given by the promoters. Meaning, it may not necessarily belong to the dancers, who may or may not be dreamers themselves.
In which case, it would simply be the Dreamers Ball.
2) Or it's a ball given at a bar called Dreamers. End result: Dreamers Ball.
(Yes, I know it's getting ridiculous. [img=/images/smiley/msn/teeth_smile.gif][/img] )
