I swear, I saw this exact post on reddit 18 years ago
You have a good memory.
I was gonna call you out on 18 years being way too long ago... Then I realized that 2005 was, in fact, 18 years ago. I feel old now.
It's good to see people's feelings of superiority have carried over from Reddit.
Your wrong, their its no difference!
*Differents

Your so write about there basic grammer beeing so terrorible. It was so incredibly alloying.
This gave me a headache.
Your weary welkome
I like never reading “should of”, as well. Every browser and phone’s autocorrect aggressively suggests a correction to “have.” Sometimes you don’t notice an apostrophe appearing in the middle of a word, so I can forgive “it’s,” but there’s little excuse for fighting with autocorrect to write “should of.”
Its nice when somebody gets it right.
*get's
I read you're comment and it's usage of its isnt correct 😳
(this killed me to write haha)
And its a great feeling!
Its awesome isnt it?
its it's own reward
It's sure is! /s
Agree, its refreshing to see people bring there best grammar skills.
Not every lemming is a native speaker.
I don't get it, its not that hard, each word has it's proper grammar and usage.
For real, its not that hard to get it right.
Fewer mobile users maybe? For whatever reason, autocorrect/autocomplete suggestions on iOS always tries to add inappropriate apostrophes to plural words. Without fail, every single time. I sometimes reflexively tap the autocomplete suggestion to finish longer words and it’s really aggravating.
Because there is a higher barrier of entry, people know what they are doing. That's a good thing.
or there and their
it's a typo unlikely to be made by ESL posters
I barely know what website I am on either
Its mind boggling how even native english speakers can't get that right
Is it though? It's almost a pendantic quirk of the written language that things need spelled differently that sound the same.
Like, we ask know what you mean if you say "I was talking to the Johnsons and there cows ran away. Its total madness in this town lately."
