The Giant's Shoulders

just a stupid technicality i just noticed (yes i WAS a copy editor for part of my grad career, we’re all nerds here, don’t hate me). Should it be Giants’ instead of Giant’s ? I’m assuming we have multiple Giants we’re looking at here (which incidentally would make a great caricature).

megan: I was thinking of putting it to a vote! When I came up with the title, I was thinking of one metaphorical giant (I can only stand on one giant’s shoulders at a time), though a friend pointed out that it makes just as much sense, if not more, to refer to many giants. I can’t quite decide which I think is more appropriate, so I may just take a vote to see what people prefer!
