Honestly I’ve done mostly forgot, and with the proliferation of AI technologies and all the typos AI has read from in the training models, I bet AI isn’t always right about this either.

I usually just don’t care anymore, whether the autocorrect puts the apostrophe in or not.

    Don’t demand nitpicky references in triplicate from people who assumed you just wanted to know and didn’t understand you were out to normalize failing.

    Go find a teacher. It’s that person’s job to show you why. If you don’t believe that person, then it’s an oppositional disorder you’ll need information on.

      I never suggested I didn’t believe anyone, I just wanted a refresher on what happens to be a rather simple and common typo/misspelling, that even autocorrect and artificial intelligence can and do frequently get wrong.

      English is known to be an awkward language anyways, and these days teachers are more and more using artificial intelligence to help teach their students. After 30ish years of reading both correct and incorrect uses of its versus it’s, I started to forget which way is correct.

      But it also makes one wonder, when and where exactly did the awkward rules of the apostrophe, plus other awkward rules and spellings, even enter into the English language?
