22 Jun 10 - 02:19 PM (#2932737) Subject: RE: BS: Father's Day! your caption From: bubblyrat Since it concerns ALL fathers,and not just one in particular, I'd start off by calling it " Fathers' Day" , not "Father's Day". OK ?? |

22 Jun 10 - 05:09 PM (#2932859) Subject: RE: BS: Father's Day! your caption From: Genie Sad to say, most often it gets written as "Fathers Day." We Americans have for some time been throwing in apostrophes where they don't belong (e.g., CDs, 1960s, shoe's) and leaving them out when they're called for (e.g., "In the 1960's there were no CD's or iPod's so when it came to kids entertainment, mother's had to rely on the childrens TV show's.) (Sigh) |

22 Jun 10 - 05:53 PM (#2932881) Subject: RE: BS: Father's Day! your caption From: Alice I decided to search for the most accepted punctuation of Father's Day and found this. It is Father's Day: ------- Although the name of the event is usually understood as a plural possessive (i.e. "day belonging to fathers"), which would under normal English punctuation guidelines be spelled "Fathers' Day", the most common spelling is "Father's Day", as if it were a singular possessive (i.e. "day belonging to Father"). In the United States, Dodd used the "Fathers' Day" spelling on her original petition for the holiday,[2] but the spelling "Father's Day" was already used in 1913 when a bill was introduced to the U.S. Congress as the first attempt to establish the holiday,[5] and it was still spelled the same way when its creator was commended in 2008 by the U.S. Congress.[10] - from answers.com |

I've seen it abroad, as well. There is even a Swiss family, the Oesch family, who call their band Oesch's die Dritten (meaning the third generation of musical Oesches.) |

23 Jun 10 - 10:54 AM (#2933265) Subject: RE: BS: Father's Day! your caption From: Alice Frightened? Incorrect punctuation is not a result of being "frightened". Why make this an American insult? There are regional and national variations in spelling and punctuation. What may not be accepted in one country is correct in another, and language changes over time. |
