i'm glad this is being discussed. i felt like i was among very few in how i felt about that use of its vs it's.
just say "it is" and use it's as the possessive.. like every other word in the language and stop failing people on exams
So should we use your's too? and hi's?
those are pronouns...
I don't understand what this is in response to. What do you think
itis?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_personal_pronouns#Complete_table
sure if we want to get granular, then yes "it" is a pronoun as well.. it's just not typically used when referring to a person
the irony behind my use of "it" just now though..
