Curious to what the analogues to “its/it’s” are in other languages. Universal errors that no amount of teaching seems able to eradicate

@pinboard In German, there’s “für’s”, which is the wrong version of “fürs” (“for the”).

@stilkov @Pinboard Is that really the same, given 1 is wrong, 1 right, whereas its and it's may both be right? What about seit / seid?

@findingmarbles @pinboard Good point. It qualifies as “universal error that no amount of teaching seems able to eradicate”, though.
