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.
