I will not focus on these small edits anymore. They take too much time and they are too tiresome. From here on out, I will focus on big changes. As a patroller and as an editor in general, I should be better, and I will be better.

No worries. While contractions have usually been kept out of professional writing in the past, there's a shift happening lately to appeal to the 'millennial' crowd with a slightly more casual delivery. The formal professionalism reads as 'boring and fake' whereas contractions read as 'real.' It's important that the site has a consistent tone one way or the other, though, so before making changes like that it would be good to confirm that's what the site wants instead of it being what you want. (And I may be wrong, it may be what the site wants, that's why I asked.) And if that *is* what the site wants, then you can keep doing it. Although to prevent burnout, it's better to just do it to pages you come across rather than scan every page on the site, lol.
