Add comma's

Add commas what?

Adding an apostrophe makes the s possessive

The apostrophe is to announce that the next letter will be an 'S'!

As observed by that legendary grammarian Dave Barry.

You're possessed by a GrammarNazi spirit!

We live in a society!

It's OK for people to be offended by lazy editing. This isn't a language barrier problem, which would be an acceptable excuse. This is lack of attention.

Not really, it is sad to expect perfect grammar on a casual forum. People are usually posting/commenting here inbetween other stuff.

Real life > social media.

Someone who's too lazy to perform basic grammar checking before posting a meme is a lazy person, period. That lack of concern about the quality of your work is never isolated to just "a casual forum". But thanks for your reply. Have a day.

Different languages have different rules for making words plural. Dutch, for instance, requires an apostrophe for a lot of them. (een komma, twee komma's), so a mistake is quickly made.

To err is human, still... Are you able to type 100% faultlessly in your second or third language?

An apostrophe might have an even better effect than a comma. PSA: Don't shoot yourself in the foot by escaping commas or apostrophes! Like in password:",\,',\''!DROP TABLE(''users')" That's more likely to "trick" the log on machine that to bust a CSV file.

Can confirm, my WiFi ssid is '); DROP TABLE `users`;--. Android always refused to join my network from a qr code.
