An Atlantic crossword error

I suspect that somebody somewhere will be looking online for this:

In today’s Atlantic crossword by Will Nediger and Matthew Stock, there’s a mistake in a clue: 24-A, five letters, “Third-person possessive pronoun with two apostrophes.” The answer: YALLS. But that’s second person, not third.

Fun answer, but mistaken clue. It’s gonna be fixed.

I'd forgotten (if I ever even knew) the difference between second and third person. You've got that English thing down pretty good.
