Cunning Linguists Languages and their use. What languages do you speak and why? What do words really mean? Can you say things in one language that you can't say in another? Should there be a national language? How many languages should a person know and what are they?

Default Re: which is the correct form?

The correct answer is: Driver's license.

"Driver license" would imply a license needed to operate or own an object called a "driver" (ie. a golf club, for instance)
"Drivers' license" would imply a single license for many drivers.

That would be logically and grammatically fine. I THINK that's what they call it in Great Britain. Too lazy to google it though.

No...no..that is "semantically correct". Cos, according to law, you only needed the government's permission to drive, not living as a certified driver....hence....

driving...license....
