      This is my first time seeing itsnotits in the wild on Lemmy.

      Before your edit, I would have walked away thinking they are a joke account that writes “its” for every grammatical situation, even if its incorrect.

        But it bothers me too, not as mistakes by other people, but when I do it - I meant one thing but out came the other, it’s frustrating and feels uncanny/alien, like having your controls mapped wrong in a video game.
        Yet I will not endure the fatigue of living without gesture-typing on my phone (the fantastic HeliBoard, but with a proprietary google gesture typing library). I ofc always have automatic autocorrect off (just suggesting are on), but with gestures you have to correct things like “it”~“it’s” like 50% of the time & my eyes are getting lazy.

          That one is one of those grammatical situations that I literally remember as “it works the way that does not make sense” since it is the only subject where the possessive form does not use an apostrophe before the s.
