riddle - Giving Gifts to Twins


If you give the first twin a gift, he will attach two letters on one side and give it back to you.


If you give the second twin a gift, he will ignore it and show you his ID.



Despite being twins, these two are literally opposites.


Who are the twins?




Hint #1:



One of the letters attached is not an English letter.



Hint #2:



ID means "identity," not the literal letters "ID" as some answers have tried.




Hint #3:



This is not , although the concept underlying this question has applications in linguistics (or so I'm told).



Hint #4:



When you give someone a gift, they will always return a gift. Also, there is no distinction between gifts and giftees.
