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?
@Chris 1987,
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.
