Indeed, good explanation for the rules 👍 I find in modern days people don't bother with grammar rules. One of my biggest bug bears is the use of "should of" instead of "should've" and similar
Hey mate - if you're passionate enough to do a full motovolog episode about apostrophes, AND end it with an animated Apocalypse Now pun, you've earned my sub 🤣 I wouldn't call correcting "it's" vs "its" as being pedantic. It's a confusing rule for someone for whom English isn't their first language, and I think pointing out that kind of thing could be seen as being helpful. In the case of "nos", I would immediately wonder if they're talking about a nitrous system. I'd be inclined to use quotes, as in: How many "no"s did I say? Of course, that's also probably not grammatically correct either... but at that point, you probably *would* be crossing the line into pedantry 😀

Ooooooo, don't get me started.....

Maybe I got the balance about right 🙂
