That was truly amazing fluid motion at the end of your video! with a couple of tweaks to hide the looping I can see this being used everywhere.

Getting a hang of when to use "its" and "it's" is more important, if you don't mind me saying so.

It's not like native speakers care for the distinction.

Thats a pretty low bar too set. in a informal context, native speakers will forgive most other grammatical mistakes as well.

I see what you did there, I think. It’s interesting: I don’t mind capitalization and the a/an substitution here, although I could see the capitalization being confusing in another context. However, it’s/its and to/too almost always take me out of the flow of the text and force me to read it again to figure out the proper meaning. As a native speaker, I would still say I forgive the mistakes, but they do undoubtedly hurt my comprehension of whatever I’m reading.

As a reader I think that distinction is more important than whether using a hyphen is correct, assuming the goal is to make oneself understood. That's all I meant.

I was just double-checking my text but I think "it's" and "its" should be used correctly. But if you spot a mistake, feel free to give me a hint. I would love to correct it :)
