Plurals of fandom names don't have an apostrophe (') in it (or do they? you tell me idk anymore)

if you put ' in it, that's not plural

it means that it's possessive, belonging to somebody

for example, ARMY

most of us just say ARMY even for plural, but I've also seen ARMYs used

ARMY's means belonging to ARMY

there's a taglist on here that I didn't apply to be in because it has a typo

I know I'm weird, so sorry

When you learn English as a second language, they basically grab you by the neck and make you learn these things

often we know the difference between "your" and "you're" better than a lot of native speakers (is something that I've both noticed and have been told) because you'd genuinely get failed in class if you put the wrong form

so it bothers me to see the mistakes

Quote from carrot-juice

As a linguistics major,this takes me back to hell.They literally bash this into your skull

Especially the possessive case with nouns that end with an 's',I remember that was real mental gymnastics for me lol

I feel pain (for you)

Quote from alexS

pretty sure since it's the name of a fandom it already implies it's plural.

But when talking about individuals within the fandom it's used as an attribute without the subject present.

So Onces or ARMYs or whatever are actually wrong, since it's a defective noun or attribute.

You can say Once cheers for Twice (noun), or that Once(attribute since the subject is missing) did this.

If you put 's that means it belongs to the fandom if it's for the noun, but doubt it makes any sense if you use it for the attribute.

Yeah I agree (basically what I said in the OP but you said it more eloquently)

Quote from kittykitka

Isn't blinks plural already

Yes

But I think the fandom name is Blink

Quote from MJay14

Yes. Flover's , it means belonging to flover. THe plural for fandom name is nothing. Bcs the name itself is already referring to a group of people. I think....?

Yes!

Quote from caratnotcarrot

i think it's technically s' if we're going strictly into grammar rules

carats is plural so if something belong to carats, for eg CARATs' love

but we're not an english exam so either way doesn't matter to me haha

uh but i wasn't talking about belonging to fandom

my's taglist for example

belonging to MY?
