Cats, and apparently capybaras are an invasive species on social media. I don’t hate them or anything but they show up everywhere in places they have new business being.

    There have been quite a few cute capybaras on the internet lately, still fewer than cats.

    Btw, the only time to use an apostrophe for a plural is for the plural of a lowercase letter:

    Strawberry is spelled with 3 r’s.

    That’s because otherwise it’s too confusing, especially in a case like:

    Individual is spelled with 3 i’s.

    where is would look like the word is.

      Ah shoot, my language (Dutch) always uses an apostrophe for +s plurals if it ends on a vowel (telefoon > telefoons, but auto > auto’s)

      I’ve noticed I use those apostrophes too often in English, maybe because of this.

      Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
