Title: Mothers Day v. Mother's Day v. Mothers' Day Post by: Uisce Beatha on May 13, 2007, 05:39:43 PM Not a dig on anyone here or anywhere else. I actually saw all three versions in cards at Target yesterday.
This is a day for all mothers so I'm down for #3. Title: Re: Mothers Day v. Mother's Day v. Mothers' Day Post by: Aske on May 13, 2007, 05:40:36 PM http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother's_Day

LOL @ Wiki crap. Go outside....... and get a job, if you're serving no purpose here. After all, it really is that simple. Beer is bad for you. On Topic: My vote is for whichever is the plural of all those that are mothers, for this is their day to be recognized collectively. Title: Re: Mothers Day v. Mother's Day v.

Mothers' Day Post by: E-A-G-L-E! on May 13, 2007, 07:35:23 PM Both "Mothers' Day" and "Mother's Day" make sense. On the one hand, it's a day set aside to celebrate all mothers. However, I always write "Mother's Day" because it's specific to and for my mother.
And besides, calendars declare it as "Mother's Day". :D Title: Re: Mothers Day v. Mother's Day v.

Mothers' Day Post by: worst_golfer_ever on May 14, 2007, 10:50:44 AM To me, it's a day to celebrate my specific mother, so Mother's Day. (I agree w/ E-A-G-L-E)
It's also a day to celebrate my grandmother, but she still gets card for "Mother's Day", not "Grandmother's Day". Title: Re: Mothers Day v. Mother's Day v.
