And yeah as for English speakers and plurals of words, where I live we add the letter "S" onto words that were never meant to be plural (store names that aren't plural) I try not to do it (sometimes I do though), but I hear it done all the time, its even become a meme that people in my state will do this. It's really weird actually.

Ah! Okay, is it this thing?
The story behind the Michigan "s" | Michigan Radio Except it's not plural but possessive (I suppose it's become so ingrained that it's actually lost its grammatical function, but never mind).
Anyway, it's fascinating that it's a contentious issue. I've heard it a lot, but thought it was just a thing that happened and I had to accept, without ever getting an explanation.
