In other words, it's 'the day of the mother'. Following that model, it really should be 'Single's Day' – 'the day of the single [person]'. I don't particularly agree with this though.<BR/><BR/>I ran a poll on my own blog and National Singles Day was the most popular option, followed by National Singles' Day. National Single's Day received just the one vote, and National Single Day received none at all.JD (The Engine Room)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00836972574430969375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143592478563275464.post-71463440084347016262008-05-02T20:10:00.000+01:002008-05-02T20:10:00.000+01:00I agree with Andrew...why is this difficult? It do...I agree with Andrew...why is this difficult? It doesn't seem like a question that merits debate on national television. I haven't consulted my style guides, but my knee-jerk reaction is "singles'" because it's plural and possessive. I hope we're right or I'm going to feel pretty dumb.<BR/><BR/>To me, apostrophes usually seem like common sense (except maybe the first time you think about its vs. it's). So, why do so many people screw them up?Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05125195620766141552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143592478563275464.post-26623683888093977132008-05-01T16:35:00.000+01:002008-05-01T16:35:00.000+01:00If it wasn't for the fact that I don't have to sho...If it wasn't for the fact that I don't have to show my face in the first place and wouldn't be able to show my face, I pick others up on this all the time. <BR/><BR/>Yes that is what I meant, I was up late last night and despite it being 4 in the afternoon have just recently got up.
