Her's

I've recently started working with someone new who has her preferred pronouns on her email signature. Fine, her choice but she's included "her's" so every time I send her an email it comes up on spell checker because it's WRONG 😬

@StillWeRise

how come it's not being corrected by her spell check??

Because she has told her spellchecker it's correct.

That is why my spell checker thinks "drfat" is correct because I accidentally clicked "ignore" and it now thinks that is how "draft" is spelt. (Spelled??)

@MaudTheInvincible

If picking on someone's grammar makes you look like a right tit, then picking on someone by telling them they look like a right tit because of picking on someone's grammar must make you look like a right tit too. In fact, imo it's far worse to pick on someone and tell them they look like a right tit because of the explicit intention to insult the person rather than to correct their grammar.

Crikey! Another Kursaal Flyer 😁

Your supplier's decision to choose her's pronoun of choice is her's's alone and her's should not be judged for her's choice to live out her's true identity.

I accidentally clicked 'add to dictionary' on the spell checker today when I sent her an email 🤦🏻‍♀️

At least it won't irritate me every time I email her now 🤣

OP here, I have noticed it creeping onto more and more email signatures 😣all spelled incorrectly. If you are going to be hopping on some stupid bandwagon and/or virtue signaling at least ensure your grammar is right!

If ask ‘her is what?’ . Not sure what is more offensive - stupid pronouns or apostrophe abuse.

Who is "her's" anyway,the cat's mother? I would just avoid using it. Use the full name when the person is first mentioned in a document and then the person's initials. Do this for everyone. It avoids confusion about exactly who is meant.
