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

Hey, give the guy a break, cult leaders aren't known for their grammar.

(Check OP's username)

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 37 points 3 days ago

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

When a rogue 'see's any enemy who's low on HP after killing two mob's

Fixed the original post's typos

[-] Luccus@feddit.org 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

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

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

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

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

BRO! Language! You kiss your mother with that mouth?

[-] x00z@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

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.

[-] iamthetot@piefed.ca 3 points 2 days ago

What languages use an apostrophe for plurals?

[-] x00z@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Dutch for example.

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

[-] iamthetot@piefed.ca 3 points 2 days ago

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

[-] x00z@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Mhm, I can only think of loan words yes.

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

[-] teft@piefed.social 3 points 2 days ago

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

Really? "See's"?

[-] festnt@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

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

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

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

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 3 points 2 days 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

[-] CultLeader4Hire@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Who ever made this it seems like

[-] Crozekiel@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

I love that the meme basically has double meaning if you know what is about to happen in the scene the image is from vs if you don't.

spoilerThat car in the background is about to run into him hard, flinging his milk and cereal all over his car. Basically, he is about to get fucked up.

[-] GiveOver@feddit.uk 2 points 1 day ago

It's his fault for eating cereal though

[-] fushuan 28 points 3 days ago

Can you censor that first apostrophe with a white marker pls? <3

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 3 days ago

Task unsuccessfully completed:

[-] festnt@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

[-] UndergroundParking@lemmy.cafe 2 points 3 days ago
