Okay what happened with capybara's on the internet, what did I miss?
There 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!
They've been all over Instagram and TikTok. People have found the most personable and presentable capybaras. I actually came here to post this from that post.
Ah, that's what I've missed! I thought it was a Lemmy thing and was wondering where the hell the capybara posts were since I didn't see any, even on All.
Thanks for the explanation!
