The apostrophe is in the wrong spot; it should be Programmers' Day.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmers%27_Day




On top of that, there are no such things as happy programmers. Why didn't anyone point that out?


I love that this is the first comment.


    o = (function() {
            p = 'programmer';
            d = 'day';
            h = 'Happy';
            r =  Math.floor((Math.random()*10000));
            (r % 2 === 0)?ap="'s":ap="s'";
            return h + ' ' + p + ap + ' ' + d;
        });
    o();
awaits correction


fixed!


QA?


Or legal ;)


Incorrect. The apostrophe is only after the possessive if the thing it's owning is plural in addition to the possessive. Day is not plural.


... what? Where did that grammar rule come from?
