I see people writing that something has occurred at someone's wit's end.
No.
"Wit" is your "talent at banter or persiflage," your sense of humor. "Wits" are your reasoning power, your sanity. When circumstances have brought you to the end of your wits, you are at wits' end, not at wit's end.
Kindly note.
If your wits were severely limited to begin with, might you be at whit's end? Thank you. I'll be here all week. Tip your waitress.
