it's

I know the difference between its and it's, but I reflexively type it's every single time, and I don't always catch it. Drives me bonkers.

It annoys me every time that autocorrect will always change "its" to "it's", despite both being valid spellings.

I'm still trying to train my autocorrect to autocorrect "autocorrect" to "autocorrupt".

If you have text shortcuts you can add that. For example, one of mine is when I type “lotr” my phone will autocorrect to “Lord of the Rings.”

We played 1e through 2000…first we complained about 2e changes….then we realized we still owned 1e…

Less stressful to just follow your fun instead of changing the world….

That poor camel's back made a terrible snapping noise as I hit ignore, but I suppose it was inevitable.

And this is why we can't use camel case in regular prose. Camels are entirely too fragile. Poorly-bound texts will fall apart into puddles of letters.

A few more common ones.

They’re. Short for they are.
Their. Possessive, they own it.
There. Location or distance.

You’re. Short for you are.
Your. Possessive, you own it.

Y’all. Short for you all.

Ah. Years of being an editor.

You forgot Youse. Short for you all where I'm from. Not that I ever use it... But that may be a little too regional... I find language and it's idiosyncrasies to be very interesting.
