# C14 · Several regular plural owners

## Complete fictional source

Three fictional players share one box of paper game cards. Their draft label is ‘the players box’. The intended meaning is a box belonging to those several players, so the label can read ‘the players’ box’. A separate one-player example reads ‘the player’s box’. The source supplies which meaning is intended; neither version is chosen by guessing from handwriting. A note says ‘We do not want the cards mixed’, which may become ‘We don’t want the cards mixed’. The activity concerns regular plural players and a familiar contraction. It does not teach every irregular plural possessive pattern or prove independent spelling from a copied model.
