Do you put the apostrophe before or after the "s"? That depends...if the sentence is already plural, example: "crops of the farmers" then it goes after the "s" but if it's a sentence that isn't already plural such as "teeth of babies" then the apostrophe goes before the "s".
I took the Wisc Online Plural Possessive Nouns quiz: http://www.wisc-online.com/Objects/ViewObject.aspx?ID=WCN6502
I got 6 out of 10 right on this quiz. I missed a couple because of misunderstanding of how to write the sentence, instead of writing "All the teachers desks" i wrote "Teachers' desks" but i ended up figuring out what i was doing wrong.
Writers need to remember that nouns are a person place or thing. So, when they are using nouns in their writing then they may need to use an apostrophe.
Apostrophes fit in my blogosphere because if i am talking about someone else then that's when i need to use an apostrophe, example: "Crystal's dog is cute." "My dad's cooking is great."
