    In this case though, it's the plural of sail.

    So, therefore, should have an apostrophe.

    Ern is correct here. I hate to be the one to tell you this but it’s important.

    No, the word "sails" does not need an apostrophe when referring to multiple sails. The apostrophe is used to indicate possession, not plurality. For example, "the ship's sails" indicates that the sails belong to the ship. If referring to multiple sails in a general sense, you would simply write "sails".

    This reminded me. Earlier I saw a coach with the company, ‘Anker’, plastered over the side and front. They must haemorrhage money getting the graffiti removed if we are any sort of a society still.

    Apostrophes are omission and possession, not plural.

    Don’t fancy our chances tbf. We’ve lost the last 5 games. Hoping it’s a master plan from the boss but I doubt it.

    Lampard will be crying into his swan and caviar pie later. This is Patrick Roberts’ time.

    Lampards brain is made of balsa wood, so they'll probably get beat. I think Sunderland took it easy once they new they'd made the play offs.
