Adding 's to every plural word

jimbethesda · 09-29-2021, 09:03 PM

Does it drive anyone else crazy when people (seems like 95% of people) add 's to denote more than one?

The meet up was great, lots of M3's, M4's, and M8's.

And I'm a finance guy, I can only imagine what the English majors (not major's) think.

upstatedoc · 09-29-2021, 09:06 PM

I'm's not an M's owner so my opinion's don't count's

stocktree · 09-29-2021, 09:07 PM

Well how do you recommend they show plural?

Apostrophe s ('s) is used to indicate a possessive noun, not plural

Ya, it's a bit lacking in proper prose, like its/it's being used incorrectly, could care less omitting the 'not', etc. Oh well.

Oh geez. Google it. Doesn't at all matter on Internet forum posts, but probably will in your professional life. This is 3rd grammar. You good on the stuff taught after that?

That said, it's a fucking forum. Nobody truly gives a shit. Half the people just type and hit submit. Nobodies being graded on their grammar abilities. Apparently except accountants. Sorry, only the accountants' give a fuck.

That's not plural. There are a lot of M3s here.

Yikes! I wasn't expecting people not to know this, just thought people were lazy and/or didn't care.

Note the smiley. A curse words doesn't symbolize anger. Or did they not teach you that in the 3rd grade?

No curse words in 3rd grade. At least not officially. On the playground only.

We didn't have emojis in 3rd grade. You young whippersnappers.

Also english is like my third language so...
