Why did you add an apostrophe to the title?

~~The title of my post...? I don't think I did? I don't see what you're talking about, maybe take a screenshot?~~

I'm dumb, I didn't even notice that. It was probably autocorrect. I'm using a FOSS keyboard that autocorrects in a weird way and I don't always notice.

It's otherwise a great keyboard, but in particular it really likes suggesting caps lock or capitalized versions of the word I'm typing, which is generally more noticeable 😅

My phone does it too, had to beat the habit out out of it but once in a while I'll have an "it's" slip through where I intended "its". Shopkeepers have ruined it for everyone.

Shopkeepers?

I'm assigning blame, possibly unfairly, to people who run shops and make signs with all kinds of apostrophe abuse ("Bag of Apple's $1" or something (intent generally isn't "bag of apple is" when the sign is written)). It creeps into the "here comes an 'S'" phenomenon and I'm making some assumptions about that bad habit influencing the keyboard's word selections.

Long way around to get there and shaky reasoning at best.

Ahhh, I follow now, thanks.

Thanks for pointing the error out to me! Even if it took me a bit to see it lol.

It very likely wasn’t autocorrect, but ever since people starting screwing it up en masse in 2018 I’ve noticed myself doing it and constantly having to correct it. So yea, autocorrect would have no reason to fix something that isn’t broken but I also can’t blame you for doing it by accident(even though it’s one of my most hated things).

The keyboard I'm using is futo keyboard and I have it set to use a neural network for suggestions exclusively, because the asop keyboard suggestions were causing some jank for me.

This has resulted in a variety of new and different forms of jank that for me are less intrusive.

I basically almsot type apostrophes on mobile unless it's to use them for clarifying by putting a 'word' in them. Otherwise I almost always let auto correct add them for me and just correct if I notice it's off. Sometimes I don't notice.

The neural network transformer fixes all kinds of shit that doesn't need fixing 😅 including autocorrecting to capitalized words that would never be a proper noun, or sometimes caps lock. It absolutely fixes shit that doesn't need to be fixed lol. Most frequently when I mistype something and it jumps to the closest word- but it'll jump to that word capitalized or with an apostrophe.

It was almost guaranteedly my keyboard.
