    The apostrophe thing really grinds my gears. Especially “it’s” vs “its”. It’s not very hard, “it’s” is a contraction meaning “it is”. Otherwise, it’s possessive. This homonym is its own worst enemy.

    I hate that “jealousy” has devoured “envy”. “Language is fluid”, they always say, but those two words have very different meanings!
