> [@panache45](#): > > But bad apostrophes have no place. That’s really weird. I remember my tablet put “its” and I thought it was a mistake at first, so I changed it. Then I reread the sentence and realized I was being stupid, and changed it back to “its.” Did it autocorrect to “it’s” even after I did that? Or did I absentmindedly tap the “it’s” button even after all that? ---
