ARGH ARGH ARGH NON-ACRONYMIC PLURALS DO NOT TAKE APOSTROPHES ARGH ARGH ARGH

(if only apostrophes were actually part of the language, i.e. pronounced
entities rather than fake typographic conventions. Nobody was putting
their `es'es in the wrong place back in 850, you mark my words. ;} )

Oh look, `your' versus `you're', another difference which is no
difference because it isn't audible. (I mean, sure, everyone knows which
is which from the point of view of internalized grammar, we just can't
keep the written forms properly separated.)

(sorry, I'll pedant off now and test this kernel patch.)

Doesn't this apply to all eye/fingerprint/face-recognition scanners? 
(Especially the latter what with complicated cases like bruising and
identical twins confusing them. Hell, half the face recognisers I've
seen can't even reliably distinguish between me and my *sister*...)
