Do you write I'm going to the doctors or I'm going to the doctor's?
It always bugs me.

In which case the possessive plural should be used.. I am going to the doctors'.

How about 'I'm going to the doctor'? Unlikely to be plural unless you're a rare case.
Did anybody else have trouble posting late last night? I had many pearls of shining wisdom
To post and it wouldn't work.
Yes I was going to insult Bill Will,so I assumed he'd invented an intelligent, anti Sootyj shield.
Yes, the board went nuts for an hour or two and no one could post.
I thought it was a new BCG boot camp initiative, lights out at 10 sharp and last under the covers gets a week in solitary on Critique.

Here's alive with the sound of music again Notorious MP?
It's colloquial so... Doctors is fine. And this is my judgement.
