    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.

              Oh no a typo from me typing on my phone. Guess my entire argument is invalid. That must be why you didn’t address any of my points.

                That’s clearly not a typo.

                Good job changing the subject.

                  The difference between GrammEr and grammAr is a typo. Also, I’m not the one who changed the topic, you did by only responding by commenting about my typo.

                    “Typo” is short for “typographical error.” The A and E aren’t close enough to excuse what’s obviously a common spelling error. You don’t have to lie on the Internet.

                    My reply was not solely about your spelling error. Your reading comprehension sucks.
