Yes to first question. To the second, no, as Fritos is a trademark so you spell it the way they spell it. However, if you were talking about something belonging to a berson calles Fritos, you would put the apostrophe AFTER the S, i.e. Fritos' car.

OK, look. When the noun is in the singular, first comes the apostrophe and then the letter -s.
e.g. Tom's bike. The girl's doll
If the noun is in the plural (where usually there is already an -s), the apostrophe goes after the -s.
e.g. I have two sons. My sons' room is next to mine.
When the noun is irregular (i.e. the plural is formed in an unusual way - mostly without an -s), then we use an apostrophe and -s.
e.g. children (plural) The children's food is ready.
If we have two nouns, the apostrophe is used after the second noun and the above rules apply.
e.g. Tom and Mary's house is here.
The words someone/body, anyone/body, noone/body, everyone/body are considered singular. So, YES, you should put the apostrophe first and then the -s.
e.g. This is nobody's book.
But, be careful: "Is that someone else's jacket?" (there are two words - 'someone' and 'else')

Yes it's right. And Fritos would have an apostrophe before the s. Unless Fritos is a complete word ( company name or something, i don't know what it is) in which case the apostrophe would go after the s

canines's practice affection by ability of grooming! Ie: cleansing in or in the back of your ears. also, each each now and then in the journey that they naw at your epidermis with their tooth (as they do at the same time as they clean themselves) they're cleansing you. in addition they attempt this to eachother, I actually have 2 who do all of it the time. Your puppy loves you, provide her a hug and a kiss and love her back! Too lovable!

Someone's ear is correct.
Is Frito someone's name? If it is it would be Frito's.
If Fritos is someone's surname then it would be Fritos'.

The APOSTROPHE in your examples are in the corrct places.
To illustrate that possessive apostrophes matter, and that their usage affects the meaning of written English, consider these four phrases, each of which has a meaning distinct from the others:
my sister’s friend’s investments (I have one sister and she has one friend.)
my sisters’ friends’ investments (I have many sisters and they have many friends.)
my sisters’ friend’s investments (I have many sisters and they have one friend.)
my sister’s friends’ investments (I have one sister and she has many friends.)

This syntax is remarkably unintelligent. Do something more important.
