How do you use an apostrophe to show possession when a name ends with s?
Dennis' car or Dennis's car?
Grammar question
Both are acceptable these days.
I am a Dennis' car personally.
The Apostrophe Society (yep, it exists) decries the use of the apostrophe after an -s, but I personally think it's better than "Dennis's".
The real problem was how to get the orthography down for what my granny used to say: "Do you like that soup? It's one of Sainsbury's's" 
Pearl Wedding Anniversary or pearl wedding anniversary?
Pearl Wedding anniversary.
Nope.

I personally wouldn't capitalise any of "pearl wedding anniversary" (ignoring sentned openings, obviously).
Thank you. I went for Pearl wedding anniversary, pearl being the first word in the sentence.

I thought you promised never to tell anyone. I hereby withdraw all favours previously agreed.
New question; using two words to refer to the different attitudes of a group of people, should there be an apostrophe in this example?
others attitudes
It's the attitude of others so others' attitude

I think your granny was right, though.
