"Players Lounge"

Post by Lines_Lupin »

Could you add an apostrophe after "Players", please? I know this makes me an insufferable grammar pedant, but "Players Lounge" basically means, "Players are lounging," "lounge" being an adjective in that usage. Given the intent is for "lounge" to be used as a noun, i.e. "this is the players' lounge", there needs to be an apostrophe ("Players'") to indicate the possessive.

Pedantic rant over ;) .

Hi Lines_Lupin,

You are absolutely right! I had the same thoughts when we introduced this name.

However... I did some research and found WPSA's Players Are Championshiping ;) tournament. If they at WPBSA don't use an apostrophe, why should we? So we chose the simple form.

Because we're better than them? :D
I do understand the reasoning though, thank you for the reply.
