It's quite obvious I didn't start the thread to imply that anyone was dumb or that they should only post perfectly spelled and punctuated items. My "correction" was me making fun of myself...hope there are no hard feelings?  | |

I have no room to talk... Ya know what's gonna drive me nutso now is wondering if that truly was a misspelling on my part (thoughtlessly typing "great" out of habit) or if it was a typo (transposing the "a" and the "e")?!?!  | |

AnotherLoverToo said: #1) you are=you're Example: "You're really gonna get it" or "you're a great person" It's a contraction, which means the apostrophe (') takes the place of the missing letter: 'a' AND #2) your=possessive pronoun, implies that something belongs to someone Example: "Your name is XenaWarriorPrincess" or "your zipper's undone" I think this needs to be reviewed. | |

What about it's and its?
It's is a contraction for it is or it has. Its is a possessive pronoun meaning, more or less, of it or belonging to it. And there is absolutely, positively, no such word as its'. A simple test If you can replace it[']s in your sentence with it is or it has, then your word is it's; otherwise, your word is its. Another test Its is the neuter version of his and her. Try plugging her into your sentence where you think its belongs. (It's better to use her for reasons I may explain someday.) If the sentence still works grammatically (if not logically) then your word is indeed its. Examples It's been good to know you. Contraction: it has It's a bird! It's a plane! Contraction: it is The dodo bird is known for its inability to fly. Possessive pronoun: its inability = the dodo bird's inability | |

I finally got that one a few weeks ago. I had it the other way around. That's confusing because possessive pronouns usually have an apostrophe. But if you think about what you are saying when you write "your funny", you are funny = you're funny. I mean, if people are going to write it like it sounds, they might as well write yer or yur. I don't know why, but that just makes me crazy. With there and their, I can understand the confusion because there is no logic to it. Is it over THERE or is it THEIR car? | |
