This is a lighthearted thread.

But Aibu to be a bit put off reading when you see the word incorrectly used?

Do you mean, e.g. "the teapot had a crack in it's spout"?*

*deliberate error for example

Yes, like "this is the Gemma bag in all it's colours" - so hard to believe how they could make the mistake when we have auto correct🙈

Yep; but auto correct is sh*t, as is spell and grammar checker. But as I do some work as a copy editor, I'm quite happy about it!

Autocorrect sometimes inserts an apostrophe when it shouldn't.

Yeah, I don't know why, but it just makes me cringe.
