Picky Grammar point
It should be "Ladies' Lounge", not 'Ladies Lounge'.
|
It's already been discussed... well... kind of.
Ladies(') Lounge Just letting you know you're not alone. :) |
oh. ok.
alternatively, it could be named "Lady's Lounge", which might be more appealing. |
you're assuming the the context of 'ladies' in the title infers ownership
|
Um, what else would it mean, Hal? :innocent:
:) |
Think of it this way: the male analog of "Ladies Lounge" is "Gentlemen Lounge", while the analog of "Ladies' Lounge" is "Gentlemen's Lounge".
|
and my point is that it's a *proper noun*
proper nouns don't need grammar |
Ladies Lounge = A lounge of ladies. You tell 'em, Hal.
|
to keep nitpicking:
why do you say "men's restroom", and not "men restroom" even if you are male and don't own the particular restroom in question? |
i think the 'proper noun' defense should be enough
|
heh, technically, rsl is right. Ladies Lounge is gramatically a statement that ladies lounge around.
Nonetheless, I think there's a more important piont here: WHO CARES? :) |

Couldn't agree more, why exactly are we debating about this? :) |
i still feel all the arguements are moot because it's a proper noun
|

hal is right in a way--a proper noun can be spelled any way you want--if you want to call your bunny rabbit "Buh knee rabbbit" nobody can stop you. |
