apostrophe alert: the apostrophe is not used to create a plural - when referring to a couple or a family or a group, simply add the S: the Smiths, the Browns, the Nugents, the Kennedys, the Nazis, the Democrats.

Actually, that was a possessive noun. If you can read it as “the wife of Ted Nugent”, then it’s right to write it like that. Not nitpicking, honestly! Correct me if I’m wrong, all you English majors.

Don’t you have some papers to grade, flies to render flightless, or windows to wash?
