I don’t know about the person who made this picture, but I’m ESL, and this is actually weird phenomenon to me.
Basically when I first was learning the language I had zero problems with it, and never made mistake, but after two decades I noticed I started making those mistakes too.
I still know when to use each and will fix it when reading what I wrote and looking for it, but when I’m just writing I sometimes write incorrectly.
I wonder if it is that I switched from remembering it visually to going by sound or maybe reading text written by other people who also make this mistake.
I’m ESL too. Maybe it’s easier learning the writing rules as you learn the language. But even so, I find astonishing the amount of times “it’s” is improperly used. I mean, it’s not some obscure gramar rule (like say knowing when to use who/whom).
How hard can it be learning that “it’s” is the contraction of “it is”?
Also, are these people aware that the word “its” exists in the English language?
