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

        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.

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

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

        i’ve heard native speakers are actually more prone to misusing apostrophes because they learned the sounds before writing, while non natives learn both at the same time

        I’m pretty sure non native speakers wouldn’t make this mistake.

        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
