My twit is with the amazing number of well educated native speakers of English that consistently use its (possessive) forms backwards. Reading an otherwise literate post with the error, it's (contraction) like cruising on the interstate and suddenly hitting a pothole where none should be. Shucks, there are many articles on the UT main page where the mistake is frequent. Even the MS Word processor grammar and spelling checker gets it (pun intended) wrong a lot of the time.

I had to use an operating system manual where that error was ubiquitous. It was like having someone scratch their fingers on a blackboard every time I had to access that manual, which unfortunately was quite frequently.
