Same typo, three times in a row?  That's a bummer of a typo...

I've got a keyboard where I have to hit the "T" harder than the others 
or it gets missed.  That sort of omission is easy to spot with a spell 
checker.  But a missing apostrophe wouldn't be flagged, so I am prepared 
to believe it is a typo.

I have some prime real estate in Florida that I'd like to sell to you.

TBH, thoughtlessness or carelessness as well.
But thanks for bringing it to my attention.
If you hadn't, I'd probably have continued making the same 
mistake.
I'll make a mental note to use the apostrophe correctly  in 
future.
Mike.
