"boy's" is grammatically incorrect it is "boys"

I will leave the esteemed members of this forum to judge your input to this thread. A cursory reading of previous posts will show you your problem. In future I suggest you stick to what you know - whatever that may be.

Oh and stop digging - you're looking like a fool.

Ok, what about "the boys' tree-house" i.e. the tree-house belonging to a number of boys as opposed to "the boy's tree-house" denoting the tree-house belonging to a single boy. The apostrophe in the former denotes the possessive plural.

Boys = singular
Boys = plural
Boy's = singular possessive
Boys' = plural possessive

bugger the boys, keep getting it wrong
