I can �t say whether or not you can use it--that �s your choice. But if it produced the sentence above, I would be careful.
Monkey’s got panda’s eyes and pop star’s mouth.
Monkeys got a panda’s eyes and a pop star’s mouth.
Monkey’s got panda eyes and pop star mouth.
Monkeys got panda eyes and pop star mouths.
OBTW: "Monkey got" also sounds funny to me, but I assume it is a BE thing. I would say "Monkeys have"
Cheers,

Douglas, I think you missed something. Glutenfree is using the British "has got" and talking about monkey, panda and as characters, rather than speaking in general. Monkey has got panda �s eyes and pop star �s mouth. So, glutenfree, to be consistent, I would treat them all as characters and use the possessive. Bruce |
