These are a dead giveaway that someone speaks English as a second language. You can tell right away because they never mix them up. Native speakers use whatever they're hearts desire.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 7 months ago (7 children)

True, my pet-peeve as an ESL speaker is that native speakers write it's instead of its all the time. They could make it right and save one character, but nope.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I'm pretty particular about my there, their, and they're but what you described happens to me all the time. My phone defaults to using "it's" and, unlike many other scenarios, I don't feel like correcting that one is worth the time it takes to do so.

A lot of people would get "its" wrong anyway, but my autocorrect on my phone changes it basically every single time. Including just now. I sometimes don't catch it, other times I don't feel like fighting a touch screen to go back and fix it. Having said all that, it's a pet peeve of mine too lol

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

As a native speaker who has to write grammatically correct, professional communications all day, it drives me crazy other native speakers can't be bothered.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

My pet peeve is "could of"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Ugh. That's just immediately makes me cringe when I hear or read it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

And they also regularly use whatever vowel suits their mood. It's like they have a vowels bucket where they're all mixed up.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (3 children)

As a non native speaker I almost always type "it's" out before my brain autocorrect reminds me "that means 'it is'" and then I have to correct it to "its" - it's kinda counter-intuitive...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

The confusing part of “it’s” vs “its” is that “its” is a pronoun, and therefore its possessive doesn’t use the apostrophe, where as you use one with possessive nouns. So usually when you are writing you’re thinking about the possessive relationship, not so much about whether you are using a pronoun to describe your subject.

“My Lemmy account’s username”

“Its username”

It’s funny because my phone defaults to adding the apostrophe when I just type “its” but if I follow it with a noun (or adjective) it automatically goes back and removes it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

I see what you did they're at the end ;)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Excuse me, but I am a native speaker and the misuse of those three or the various 'yours' annoy the fuck out of me.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (6 children)

Hah, funny. As a non-native speaker I never mix them up as I am very conscious of it when I'm writing. I'm also often translating from French in my mind to English on "paper" which helps differentiate all of them since they don't sound the same in French.

When this film came out, Lynne Truss stood in front of the sign with an apostrophe in protest:

She is a treasure. I recommend her (believe it or not) entertaining book on punctuation for anyone who feels deeply about this meme.
