Holiday Signs - name ?
I found some cute holiady signs that I was going to give this year. My question is for a house containing a single person would you still pluralize the name? Should the sign say "The Smith's" or is there an alternative to use?
It sounds like a silly question but I don't want anyone to get upset.
Re: Holiday Signs - name ?
I would just put 'Smith' on it.
Yeah I would just put Smith.
If you are saying The Smiths' house, the punctuation goes behind the s because it is plural possessive.
If you are just saying The Smiths meaning more than 1 Smith, you wouldn't have the apostrophe.
HTH!
I don't have the link saved on this computer. But just a holiday themed sign. I was looking for something I could easily replicate myself if I decide to make myself.
I wasn't as worried about the grammar as I was do you use the singular or plural for a single person.
Thanks for your help though.
Ahhh, I see. I would just put Smith.
It's true. I'm an English major and it BUGS me when people put Harris's to make it plural. I grew up with a fairly easy name to make plural, but my married name is NOT pretty plural (Moss-Mosses) so I avoid it at all costs. I usually just put our first names when we sign things (rather than "Love-The Mosses). The first year we gave out cards people came up to us saying, "You did it wrong!!" and I had the pleasure of teaching everyone a wonderful punctuation lesson. Now we just avoid writing it and everyone is much happier
