      they’re french

      also it’s a play on words with baguette’s and begets sounding similar

        Frenchiness is no excuse for apostrophe abuse

          Baguette doesn’t sound as close to begets as baguette’s (and it’s a meme, not an English essay). Also, Polandball memes themselves often have bad grammar because it’s usually a combination of the native language and English.

            Which language pluralizes with an apostrophe followed by an s?

              Dutch. Not kidding. Plural of hobby is hobby’s, not hobbies for example. Same with pony’s, baby’s, lolly’s and even newer “borrowed” words from English like reply’s. We use the apostrophe and s if there is no vowel before the y.

              I’m telling you it isn’t supposed to be grammatically correct. Baguette’s when pronounced sounds closer to begets than baguette. It’s also funnier (at least to most people) since it’s wrong in a comedic way.

              Also, why do you think the 's is pluralizing? There’s no indication whatsoever that baguette’s is supposed to be plural.

                Even if baguette is verbed, no apostrophe would be used.

                  If you’re following grammar rules, which I already said it isn’t. Also, it would have an apostrophe if it was possessive, so by itself baguette’s isn’t necessarily wrong (for example, the baguette’s wrapper was clear). I’m confused about what you’re arguing since it seems to make no sense.

                    *grammar

                    It wouldn’t make any sense for it to be possessive.
