I see it referenced constantly here, not quite as much on Reddit. I know what it means, but just wondering why such the popularity over on this side of the fence?

    I’d guess because since reddit accelerated it’s enshitification, the people who really cared about it moved to lemmy. The people who didn’t care as much stayed behind. So the people over here care about it much more.

      Sorry, this is the third incorrect “it’s” that I read today, and if I don’t point out it should be “its” I’m going to explode.

      I’m sorry good sir have a nice day.

        Scratching an itch about its it’s usage today. /j Have a nice day! :)

        Here’s some chaos English for others to read if they had not done so. Yes, it’s about pronunciation but possibly still relevant.

          That’s what they said at the start of enshittification. Spelling and grammar actually do fucking matter and I don’t care who hates me for my opinion this time
