Grammar brings families together

I do not know who on earth ... thinks it's called the twenty-thirth.

And what do we think about Secretaries' versus Secretary's? It looks weird as a plural possessive. I'd leave it. Any other thoughts?

Thanks for the photo, Dad!

My guess is it said 24th, then the person realized the date was wrong.

And I'll say Secretary's Day using Mother's Day as a precedent... although my calendar says Administrative Professionals Day.

Well, it's "Father's Day" and "Mother's Day", so staying singular has some consistency.

(I suppose if you have more than one secretary, you've got to pick a favorite!)
