Errors can give away that a human typed something, but knowing proper grammar, spelling, and syntax of English is totally neutral—if not to be somewhat expected from a native speaker/typer with a lifetime to learn the language they speak (especially if we consider how many Anglophones are monolingual + educated + have access to technology like spell check meaning there is little excuse for not having English mastery).

In my education, I got a public apology from a teacher letting the class know they tried to dig up proof of plagiarism in my persuasive papers, but for the first time proved themself incorrect on a plagiarism hunch. Humans are capable of writing well.

The inconsistent 2 spaces after “LOL.” shows this comment was from a human.

Think of the phrase: about music. “90’s music” would imply music from specifically 90 (probably 1990 where we assume the writer was lazy about the initial apostrophe)—possessive form. “’90s music” uses ’90s as an adjective for the entire decade—and with the preceeding apostrophe makes it clearer 19 is omitted. 1 year versus 10 years as a big difference. Using an apostrophe in the right place clearly removes the ambiguity.

It was an error. It happens, and too many people do it so next time maybe you won’t with a good habit being formed.

One man’s pedentry is another man’s pet peeve. This is a syntactic error that isn’t just a typo but a misunderstanding of the mechanics of apostrophes.

Really. Apostrophes are used for possession & contractions (not making words plural). In this case, you are omitting the 19 from the decade starting at 1990. What is plural is the years inside that decade, meaning the 10s place. All to say, it is 100% ’90s*.

• a lot of pioneering in the ’70s*
• right there in the late ’70s*
• Most people ended the ’70s* living like they did in the ’60s*
• a lot of invention in the ’80s*
• crystalized in the ’80s*
• We emerged from the ’80s*
• lot of evolution in the ’90s*
• a lot of revolution in the 2000s*
• a lot of stagnation in the 2010s*
• Now we arrive in the 2020s*
• In truth this began in the 2010s*
• the sinisterization of the ’20s*

But you got it right for “TRS-80s” & “August of ’91”!

in the late ’90s*

I think you need to run the service yourself

I always loved the lighting these places give off at a certain point in the night. It is both inviting & spooky.
