For the love of fuck, we're using apostrophes to conjugate verbs now too?

You have to protect your letter's from those dangerou's terminal esse's!

Can't even blame this one on autocorrect, we've gone full apostrophe means "here comes an s"

I use the apostrophe whenever I'm too lazy to type the proper letter. Like:

''''' ''''' '''' ''' ''

''''' ''''' ''' ''' ''''

''''' ''''' ''' '''''' ''' '''''' '''

In some languages you use an apostrophe for pluralization in some cases. But even that doesn't make sense for the one in the OP.

What languages use an apostrophe for plurals?

[-] x00z@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

Dutch for example.

Interesting. From a quick look, seems like it only applies to some borrowed words, nothing native to the language?

[-] x00z@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

Mhm, I can only think of loan words yes.

They said language, not dialect. Swamp German doesn't count

[-] teft@piefed.social 1 points 16 hours ago

A lot of people aren’t native speakers and also this is an easy error to make even for native speakers.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 11 hours ago

It's not a mistake native speakers would make unintentionally but I absolutely understand the ESL problems and, full disclosure, still have to remind myself about the rules for possessives.

It looks wrong and the system is wrong I will not apologize for or be bound by the failures of dead dudes

All hail an analfabet!
