An example I had to endure in Britain recently was bus adverts for an Apple movie starring Brad Pitt and George Clooney called “WOLFS”. At first I thought I must not be seeing an apostrophe… but then… the horror.
For speakers of English (simplified) who can’t understand, the plural of wolf is wolves.
> The title “Wolfs”, a grammatically incorrect plural of Wolf, is an apparent reference to the character of Winston Wolfe (aka “Mr Wolf”) - an iconic “fixer” in the Quentin Tarantino film Pulp Fiction. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfs_(film)
Regardless of who is correct or not, the bus advert to me as a British person reads and scans as a spelling mistake or grammar error. Googling to find they’re allegedly talking about Winston Wolfe doesn’t remedy that problem. Plus that would be Wolfes.
