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.
gollark: It's personification, totally valid.
gollark: "its confidence" meaning "the confidence belonging to the keyboard" seems to fit better.
