“Dad’s corner” or “dad’s part”
Which is right, dad’s corner or dad’s corner? I see dad’s Corner used regularly so I am assuming that’s right, but in my mind dad’s is singular and the corner belongs to multiple dads as it’s a place for dads to meet.
Both are grammatically correct but they have different meanings:
- dad’s corner – a corner for a father
- Dads’ corner – a corner for many fathers
A useful comparison is Father’s Day (or Mother’s Day ) (simple cliches) It’s a day to appreciate many fathers, but is written this way as it’s a not only a day to appreciate one father at a time. This is a generic plural.
Another example is Dad’s Army, the name of a sitcom about the Home Guard during World War 2.
