Womens Clothing
The other day, my husband and I were driving behind a truck with the phrase “Womens Clothing.” My husband rolled his eyes as I pointed out the error, but this is a common mistake. So here’s to clearing the confusion.
Plural nouns are easy: I have three cats and five dogs.
Singular possessive nouns are also easy: This is my sister’s dress.
Now,
plural possessive nouns. If they end in an
s, add only a apostrophe: Dogs’ favorite activity is going for walks.
If they don’t end in an s, add an apostrophe
and s: Women’s clothing.
