He is the gigachad image

Let's go Brandon indeed

While it's indeed fake, the satire was fun. It notes that whenever you see a Let's Go Brandon bumper sticker, it's in regards to this very famous gay porn star. Same with the chants. Those guys were just big fans of gay porn, y'know.

So the good news is he got 35 of 'em, the bad news is that it's just 35 of 'em. Hope they'll release him soon.

That's gotta be a high score

Not quite Zhukov scores, but Patton and Monty would be jealous.

Man I really wish this wasn't a fake news story...

What is even the point of this? If it's satire, what's the joke?

Is it ever appropriate to use an apostrophe to pluralize a word?

Lasherz12@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 30d

It is not. That was a typo from the satirical website.

Is it ever appropriate to use an apostrophe to pluralize a word?

I stumbled upon exceptions on Wikipedia not long ago including, e.g., pluralizing single letters (Oakland A's) and symbols (#'s).

uberfreeza@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 30d

I was wondering about that. I assumed there wasn't exceptions, because those can still be possessive. Oakland A's members or 13's unlucky superstition. I'm not surprised though, because English is a stupid mess of a language.

TrickDacy@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 30d

Never, ever. It's like screaming "what is words?!"

huppakee@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 30d (8 replies)

I'm not natively English but isn't that always when you could read it wrong without the apostrophe? E.g. it's zoos and bows, but not hos?

Edit: this example doesn't really do much, since you could argue about it's ho's nazi or a nazi's ho, and hoes is probably more correct anyway. I retract myself from this discussion.

Not native either, but pretty sure apostrophe-s is about ownership whereas just s is about plural. eg.:

"It's a dog's bark."

"The dogs are barking."

huppakee@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 30d

That is definitely the main rule, but i believe there are exceptions. I could be wrong though

Lasherz12@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 30d

"Its" vs "it's" is probably the most common mistake in the English language. Apostrophe is used for ownership as well as contraction, BUT contraction supersedes ownership. So its means ownership and it's means it is.

Lasherz12@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 30d (3 replies)

Nah, but that is how some people view and use it. It doesn't bother me personally if it seems intentional to quicken clarity. It at least makes more sense to me than possession on a name ending in 's', E.G. Bernie Sanders' policies. It breaks down further if the Sanders had a family reunion, what is the Sanderses'? Sanders'? preference for food?

huppakee@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 30d (2 replies)

Afaik it's not just how people use it but what has been agreed upon by the respective rulemakers. I was just commenting on whether it's appropriate though, completely agree it's arbitrary and imperfect.

Lasherz12@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 30d (1 reply)

Gotcha and I agree about it being as clear as mud. Also your English is amazing. Like better than most native speakers

huppakee@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 30d

Thank you, so is yours but you might not say that if you weren't a native yourself

Slatlun@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 30d

Not quite. No apostrophe usually means plural. With apostrophe means possessive or a contraction (what is to what's). Its/it's is an edge case where the possessive "its" has no apostrophe and contraction "it's" does.

All that being said, native speakers mistype all of these all of the time, so you don't have to worry about it for casual conversation.

Janx@piefed.social · 1 pts · 30d

"Let's"? That's not plural, that's a contraction. It's short for "let us".

db2@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 30d

It's.
