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

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 38 points 2 months 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What languages use an apostrophe for plurals?

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

Dutch for example.

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

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

Mhm, I can only think of loan words yes.

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

Really? "See's"?

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

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

[-] festnt@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months 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

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

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

(Check OP's username)

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

Who ever made this it seems like

[-] fushuan 28 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 2 months ago

Task unsuccessfully completed:

[-] festnt@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago
[-] festnt@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

that's a weird looking apo'strophe

[-] Crozekiel@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months 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 2 months ago

It's his fault for eating cereal though

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