| My grandfathers | 1.9 | 0.7 |
| My grandmothers | 0.4 | 0.4 |
| My husbands | 0.0 | 1.7 |

This also recalls this earlier post: https://aldland.wordpress.com/2011/10/18/that%e2%80%99s-just-the-way-it-is-bruce-hornsby%e2%80%99s-kid-can-get-up-via-rush-the-court/
Additionally, like how “husbands” and “wives” are plural
Many Mormons were surveyed in this poll. Or polled in this survey. Either way.
