Double Plurals

 
 
Reply Fri 15 Apr, 2016 01:18 pm
I am making a sign for a company that has two similar companies merging while maintaining their names. Both are Risk Strategy Companies, and want strategy's to remain plural while companies is plural. As I am proofing this I remember some rule way back when, about making double plurals like this. I am unsure the proper way to write this. Does anyone have a suggestion on the wording for this.

@Chris 1987,
Why doesn't "companies' strategies" work?

Get your plurals and use of apostrophes right before getting more ambitious. The plural of strategy is strategies. Never use an apostrophe followed by 's' to denote a plural.

Even when two companies merge, the work subject matter does not become plural.
