ChatGPT needs to learn that it's is a contraction of it is and is incorrect usage in that sentence.

I am not saying you are being picky, but as the same time correcting of the internet memes is not my thing.

I do not know how it happened, what the source may be, but occasionally appearing on my FB page are clips or 'shorts' with meaningless life hacks under the heading: "A plumber teached me this."

Months have gone by and the title has not been corrected.

I cringe when I see these 'suggestions' as I did with when hearing a squeaky piece of chalk on a blackboard in days of yore . . . gone like the clicks of a rotary dial, thank goodness.

Someone now is thinking: "But what if the person speaks ten languages and English isn't one of them? You're being unkind. Don't they deserve the benefit of the doubt for trying?"

No.

I’m not sure I follow, but you’re suggesting that I’ve offended @vitriol? If so, my apologies. This is a global, but English speaking forum, and I was assuming typos were just being made by careless thumbs.

Oh, so now you're suggesting that he doesn't have opposable thumbs! 😀

Dave,

I guess that I have misunderstood your intent.

Mine was meant to be a general comment about some not knowing the difference between "its and "it's" as well as taught and "teached." 😉
Everyone should know that "teached" is the 'past imperfectable' tense. ::facepalm1::

Kinda like the difference between lead and lead.

Or as a printer once said, Lead lead lead.

might as well call a plumber.
