gollark: So I corrected your "it's" to "its".
gollark: "It's" is fine, I won't complain about using it, but you used it when what you likely meant was "its".
gollark: No, it shouldn't. I wasn't expanding the contraction, just replacing it with a correct similar word you must have mixed up.
gollark: Contractions are valid, it's just that "it is confidence" is probably not what you meant.
gollark: I corrected it to "the confidence belonging to the keyboard" which is what you probably meant. Because that's what "its [the keyboard's] confidence" means.
