Grammar check: "Stills" Gallery or "Still" Gallery?

[LavenderLounge]

Which is the accepted grammatic usage:

-"Stills" Gallery

or

-"Still" Gallery

Is it a gallery of my "still" images,

or

is it a group of my "stills" gathered into a gallery?

Thanks

i think both work to the point that no one would notice the difference.

for example if you also had a "video gallery" it'd most likely be just that. "video gallery". as opposed to "videos gallery".

and so accompanied by the singular form of "video", "still" wouldn't look outta place at all. the consistency would trigger the connection.

but if you had "videos" gallery then it's referencing each bit of material within the gallery as opposed to the gallery itself, and so you'd want "stills" to go with it.

and so OMFG OK MY BRAIN HURTS I AM SO DONE WITH THIS THREAD!

Definitely Stills Gallery
or
A Gallery of still images
of
A gallery of stills

Depends on whether you are utilising the word still as a descriptor or the noun(I think).

Now I'm even more confused.

I'm making box covers for a client. The client wants me to use "Bonus Still Gallery Included". I think it should say, "Bonus Stills Gallery Included".

Who is right?

I think that you are correct.

The boss is naturally right but grammatically, stills is the correct way unless there is only one image in the gallery. Least that's what I keep getting told by that stupid bloody grammar checker on my puter..
