See what I got from a popular blogger, today:
"Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and his wife, Dolapo, joined other christian faithfuls to celebrate Mothers day at Aso Rock Chapel in Abuja...."
Let me bring out two grammatical blunders from that:
1. Christian faithful (not "christian faithfuls")
2. Mothers' Day (not "Mothers day")
NB: For (1), you don't add 's' to "Christian faithful" because the noun phrase already indicates plurality.
For (2), notable dates and events are written having the initials capitalised. You must also ensure you add an apostrophe to "Mothers' ".
e.g. Mothers' Day
Children's Day
I feel it is important you digest this!
