If anything, you’re annoyed when people make simple mistakes on their blogs. As far as people with bad grammar go, you know they’re only human. And it’s humanity and its current condition that truly disturb you sometimes. |

I score 10 out of 10, too. Sadly, even though I know which of those things is which, I still catch myself making errors. And I agree that its doesn’t make sense. Or at least, it’s with the apostrophe does make sense for the possessive, since other possessives with an s have one.

That is where I struggle Noggin. My knowledge of grammar is such rubbish. I even had to remember/find out what a possessive pronoun is.

That did enable me to move up to a 10/10 though.

There are a few grammatical/spelling mistakes that seriously drive me mental, mystarbucks, but these days I try not to let them bother me too much.
Meanwhile, I’m very pleased that three of my students managed either 9/10 or 10/10 … yay!!! ๐
