Those arn't grammatical errors, they're spelling mistakes. Apparently you
don't know the difference between spelling and grammer. Perhaps you should
take remedial English lessons yourself?

Apostrophe errors are grammar, not spelling.

Nope. Missing it out in a contraction is a spelling mistake, not grammar
since the grammar doesn't change without it as there is no version of
"it's" without an apostrophe.

Even there was , you still goofed on 2 out of 3. Back to school for the
pair of you.

A nice illustration of the depth of your ignorance. "it's" with an
apostrophe is always and without exception a shortened "it is". "its"
without an apostrophe is a possessive pronoun, like his and her, as in
"the dog retreated to its kennel".

Apostrophes are used for contractions like "it's" and "you're" and
"can't".

Apostrophes are also used for the possessive form of nouns like "the
cat's whiskers" and "the dog's breakfast" and "the dogs' breakfasts"
(and moves depending whether the owning noun is singular or plural and
whether the plural does or does not end in "s").

Apostrophes are not correct in non-possessive plurals, though using them
there is now a very common mistake.

Also,

Even there was ,

are not spelling mistakes, Whether they are grammar errors or not might
be debatable, but they are definitely errors.
