Apostophes are for ownership and omitted letters. And, as you can see, you do not need an apostrophe for plural.

"There are lots of lycans"

"The lycans just nicked my last rolo!" :eek:

Since the OP's question was answered, I shall pose another on topic...

Has anyone ever heard the word "solution" used as a verb before?

I caught this on a satellite programme, some sort of advertising. I didn't catch the whole thing, but this sentence stood out:

"...to sell, solution, and perfect your product."

I looked it up on dictionary.com and couldn't find a verb usage of it, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Has anyone heard of this word used in this context before?

In this context "solve" is the correct grammatical usage of the verb form of solution. Solution would be correct if used in the past tense, i.e. "The project was brought to solution"

i think :confused:
