How do we word them?
1. If there is a holiday celebrating the spirit of sportmanship and people's participation or enjoyment of various sports, what should we call that?
Sports Day
Sports' Day
2. If there is a holiday celebrating or showing the appreciation for mothers, how should we call that?
Mother's Day
Mothers' Day
Mothers Day
Mother Day
Do I need to put the article "the" for the underlined spot?
3. Can I not use the article "the" at the spot indicated? Why did the writer include the article "the" here?
On July 30, 1994, you published an article by the author Mary Tutenber, which I found to be very disturbing.
