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.
Don't
I'm sorry, i think you meant don's
You shouldn't've.
I'd'nt've
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.
