ROFL, dbee! BUT, still not convinced.......:28:
Some of them DO have an apostrophe after the word, and those are grammatically correct, but it depends on whether you count punctuation as a character or not.....IMHO, it IS a character.

The rest of them w/out the apostrophe........are not grammatically correct!!!

Sorry, not trying to pick on you! But childrens' only makes sense as a possessive, and possessives need an apostrophe to make them right. The fact that many people misuse it doesen't make it right.

What does the dictionary say? I haven't checked...

 

[Drifa]

OK, here are the results from dictionary.com (not that that's the ultimate authority, but it's one authority anyway, and the one that was cited as the appropriate source in September Blue's 1st post starting the game).

No results found for childrens.
Did you mean children's (in dictionary) or Children's (in encyclopedia)?

Dictionary suggestions:
children's
children
chaldron's
chaldrons
chaldrons'
chilterns
childness

OK, enough of my grammar-wonketteness, let's go on with the game....LOL
