I read on a website that when ц is in a stressed syllable in the nominative case, that the ending in the genitive plural case will be -цев.

However your post makes me doubt what the correct rule is.

Can anyone confirm that I have -цов/-цев(3) switched around in combination with note 3,
because this would mean that hat grammar website I used listed incorrect information.
