View PostIf I am writing about the children of thousands of immigrants is immigrants' children incorrect and immigrant's children correct?

 

Immigrants' children means the collective children of the group of Immigrants.

 

Immigrant's children means more than one child of a single immigrant.

 

If you want to write about the children of thousands of immigrants, immigrants' children is likely correct.

Ehhh, no big deal. Most people wouldn't catch it, and the few that did would be left to wonder which interpretation you actually intended. highfive.gif
