Shouldn't Norway's be Norwegian [millennials] in the title?
I have never heard of a Norwegian referred to as a 'Norway'.
To me, the title reads as: "Unlike most millennials, the Norway countries are rich" which doesn't make any sense because millennials are people not countries.
- vecinu 8y agoI believe the submitter was going for "Norway's Millennials" which I believe still sounds okay.
- Nullabillity 8y agoI read it as "Norway's [millenials]", which seems fine grammatically.

- Thiez 8y agoIt's referring to them as 'the millennials of Norway', short: 'Norway's millennials'. You are correct that those millennials would be Norwegians.
- hocuspocus 8y agoNot all of them. About 17% of the population aren't citizens, and probably more so within the millennials.
- Sathu 8y agoNorwegians, in this case, feels more right, as it is referring to the people.
- wavefunction 8y ago"Norway's" is the possessive referring by implication to millennials which is the preceding subject in the sentence. >Unlike most millenials, Norway's (millenials) are rich. You seem to be making the common conflation of the possessive with the plural of Norway (and of course there's only one Norway).
- nottorp 8y agoApostrophe and s means possesive. no apostrophe and s means plural. If you're confusing them you must be a native speaker of English ;)
