The holidays are right around the corner, and that means festive music, gifts, family and friends, stress, and holiday cards!

To us, There is no better (unbelievably common, and incredibly fixable) way to ruin the holiday season than when we get a card from a cousin and it is signed “Love, The Leonard’s” (well, there might be better ways, but…this still really pisses us off!).

So, to bring a little more joy and a lot less irritation, we’ve written our first HTFAR Guide: How Do I Pluralize My Last Name for Holiday Cards?

So, How Do I Pluralize My Last Name for Holiday Cards?

You may be asking yourself, why is HTFAR discussing grammar? Well, bad grammar is bad manners. And it just makes you look dumb. So, act f**king right, and write f**king right. Simple.

And remember, there are only two ways to pluralize your last name. And neither uses an apostrophe.

You either add an -s or an -es. That’s it. The only two ways.

‘TIS THE SEASON (FOR GROSS OVERUSE OF THE APOSTROPHE)

You may be wondering if your last name needs an apostrophe? F**K NO. It does not.

You may be now wondering if we are sure. YES, WE ARE F**KING SURE.

When you sign a card “Love, the Leonard’s”, we think to ourselves, “The Leonard’s what? Their stray cat? Their Christmas sweater? Their ugly redheaded stepchild?” and then we realize, “No, it is the Leonard’s unnecessary apostrophe. That’s what that is. Dammit!”

So, do yourself and your loved ones a huge favor. Pluralize your last name. No apostrophe necessary. Don’t ruin the holiday spirit.

And if you’re single, maybe just sign it The Leonard. One Leonard. It has a certain confidence about it, doesn’t it. And, by the way, it also does not need an apostrophe.
