Comment on Cats are a social media invasive species.
Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks agoThere have been quite a few cute capybaras on the internet lately, still fewer than cats.
Btw, the only time to use an apostrophe for a plural is for the plural of a lowercase letter:
Strawberry is spelled with 3 r’s.
That’s because otherwise it’s too confusing, especially in a case like:
Individual is spelled with 3 i’s.
where is would look like the word is.

Ah shoot, my language (Dutch) always uses an apostrophe for +s plurals if it ends on a vowel (telefoon > telefoons, but auto > auto’s)
I’ve noticed I use those apostrophes too often in English, maybe because of this.
Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

I learned something interesting about Dutch today, thanks!
