    The usage rules are so simple and it never involves pluralization

    Mmmm, it’s and its would like a word with you. Not pluralization but definitely the one that makes it less than simple.

    Also, the other weird one is words/names that already end in ‘s’

    Like if Mr Jones owns something, that’s Mr Jones’ car

        I did not know Jones’s was valid actually! And honestly, I learned that rule from level names in Ty the Tasmanian tiger, like “Cass’ Pass” when I thought they fucked up as a kid.

        Mainly just was adding on! I’m similar when I learn rules like that or when I finally nailed the ‘to’ vs ‘too’ thing, I tend to also get irked by their misuses after I get them down
