when I heard " childs' " on Radio 4 the other day.

Stupid question, how could you tell if it was "child's" or "childs'"?

OK. Strictly speaking, they were talking about things of-more-than-one-child and said something which sounded like "childs". I took it as an error of pluralisation, but I guess it could alternatively have been an error of number. It certainly wasn't correct!

Oh, sorry, got you, I assumed "child's" might be grammatical but of course it isn't. I go sort of plural-blind looking at "children" it has nearly three plural suffices already and I forgot they weren't all already there in this case :)
