Mine is people using are instead of our. I hear this all the time from social media, news reporters, and I see in in writing. Instead of our, they use are as if they forgot the word our exists.

    Autocorrect always seems to choose the wrong spelling for its and it’s. If you’re trying to use the possessive, it changes it to “it’s.” If you’re trying to use the contraction of “it is,” it changes it to “its.” 😬

    I never had these dumbass incorrect context changes when autocorrect was new. It only seems to get worse over time, instead of better. It shouldn’t even be correcting words that are already spelled correctly, even if the context is wrong.
