Description
The documentation's use of **countries** -- i.e. without an apostrophe -- to mean the possessive, makes for awkward reading. Examples to be found include:
- countries names
- countries populations
If the plural form of **country** is imperative -- i.e **countries** -- then the plural possessive form takes a trailing apostrophe: **countries'**.
But even when given the trailing apostrophe, **countries'** remains awkward to read.
I do not think there would be any loss of understanding if:
- country names
- country populations
were used, instead. If we were discussing Ford, Chrysler, GM, and Fiat, we might write "car brands", but we would (hopefully) not write "cars' brands".
I see that the docs have been in their current state for a while. Too late to change?
