I'm so bad at that.

My customers all look for this stuff by default at this point ;)

I do my best but man ... I do it all the time... to.

@N00bPancakes Pro tip: try to expand the contraction - if it still makes sense, then it's fine; if it doesn't, then it's not the word you're looking for.

@kamen To be fair, “its” is an exception as it’s the only possessive without an apostrophe.

I considered making this a rant but now I can just toss it here.

Oof. It's the type of error that makes your documentation look like an angry halo player.

@Root What about "his", "hers", "ours" and so on? No apostrophe whatsoever.

@kamen Aha! You are correct. I didn’t even think about those, and they follow the same possessive pronoun pattern, too. Props to you!
