"Father's Day" or "Fathers' Day"

[Greythorne]

Big debate in our house.

I say it's "Fathers' Day" as it is a celebration for all fathers. Not just one.

Sadly, Wikipedia disagrees. I will bow to the MN jury.

I wondered this today too. I used to know and now I'm confused.

Both, father's = particular to one person
Fathers = plural or group of.

But if you were buying a card which is correct ? As the card shops have both!

I go for Father's Day because it is a special day for my father.

Depends who your buying the card for. For your dad then father's for grandad etc fathers'. That's why the shops have both

"I go for Father's Day because it is a special day for my father."

Shit! I forgot to get him a card, I only got one for my father. Please apologise to him for me.

I'd say neither is correct - surely its "Fathers Day"

Could explain why?

You could be right, bacon

WMittens - My poor father! I was relying on somebody else to get him a card because I didn't...
