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.

OK, provided I can pay you in £18 notes :-)

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.
