Description

**The Error**
Made a typo, noticed that harper doesen't catch it. Doesen't sound super easy to detect, but maybe it's possible.

**Examples (2-3):**
1. `behavior doesn't match out intentions` -> `behavior doesn't match our intentions`

**References**
N/A

**Potential Edge Cases**
When in the sentence you would expect a possesive pronoun
