In the following sentence, can anyone tell me where the apostrophe should be placed please?
I have a feeling that the second sentence is correct - i.e. "every" should be followed by a singular noun, but I would welcome any confirmation. thanks
"Every" in this context implies a singular noun follows, so "coder's" works here. It's a nightmare that is personal to every individual in the set of coders.
Yes, the second one is correct.
If you think of it like this, it may help to understand why:
Every single coder's worst nightmare.
