This is becoming one of my pet hates \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

There seems to be an increase in the number of people using an apostrophe when writing about photos – that it, people writing photo’s instead of photos.<\/p>\n

“I will bring my photo’s to show you”<\/p>\n

What do the photos own? NOTHING! So there is no need for an apostrophe to be there and it annoys pedants like me when it is there!<\/p>\n

I’m struggling to think of situations where anyone would talk about photos owning anything so it’s probably fairly safe to say that photos should never have an apostrophe added!<\/p>\n

And given that adding an apostrophe is actually more work, I don’t see the appeal myself!<\/p>\n
