What is the correct spelling of “buyer* remorse”?

Apostrophical query:

  • a ) Buyers Remorse
  • c ) Buyer’s Remorse
  • D ) Buyers’ Remorse
  • My guess is b

or c, as it seems like any example is talking about the remorse of one specific buyer, but since it is a collective term that happens universally, perhaps the possessive plural is accurate. I suppose it’s potential that it’s a context-sensitive decision, deciding whether you are talking about exactly one buyer or about buyers in general.

Yes, it does happen to everyone, but it is about each. It is called remorse. An apology. What is the remorse of the buyer or the seller? My question is “C to be answered (a)”?

What do people think of Wikipedia? The Corpus of Contemporary American English gives 36 examples of “buyer’s remorse”, but “buyer remorse” has just 1, and there are no results for either “buyers’ remorse” or “buyers’ remorse”. In

this case no examples exist, the “Columbian Dictionary of English” is a copy.
