    The lack of an apostrophe for “Can see you’re logged in” is unreasonably irritating to this grammatical pedant.

      that’s not a lack of apostrophe. your is just a different word. if there were a lack of apostrophe it would have said youre.

        The sentence requires the contraction of “you are”, which contracts down to “you’re”. The apostrophe is still missing even if a different and grammatically wrong word was used.
