Why does Foto's have an apostrophe?
I'm not an expert but probably because it's Dutch
Plural of words ending with a vowel (except "e") uses the apostrophe.
Only if it's a short 'e', if the pronunciation is long, you do use an apostrophe.
Gotcha, makes sense
Niet omdat het moet, maar omdat het kan

I think my favorite one my Dutch buddy told me about was "Helaas pindakaas." If not that, I also love the insult "droplul."
