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.
I do. I proofread everything to make sure that swipe typing got it right, and I judge people who get it wrong.
It does bug me that the possessive form (fundamental to the language) rather than the informal contraction is the non-standard one, but I suppose it matches “his” and “hers”.
Your Apostrophe looks like an Arbitrary Value.
LOL, at the end of the day, it’s not really a big deal though. Hell, weren’t there once strict rules on the semicolon ; …?
Anyways, thanks everyone for the comments and the reminder, not like I’m gonna remember tomorrow.
Happy New Beer! 🍻
I think it’s a big deal for me because English isn’t my native language. I have something to prove in a way that native speakers don’t.
I’m a serial offender. I’ll correct it later if I see it and think someone might actually read it.
