In-Laws

I use Daughters-in-law for the plural and Daughter-in-law's for the possessive. I just noticed that this frees me up to use both if I need to, as in "my Brothers-in-law's behavior at Thanksgiving in the old days at Scituate." But I didn't choose those forms for that reason. It's based purely on what sounds right to my ear.

Just answering the important questions for you.

Sergeants Major everywhere will appreciate your adoption of the Sergeant Major’s form of address.
