      It and It's

      CluD is making me RAEG!!!!

      He thinks that the word "It's" = belonging to. While "Its" = It is.


      While really "It's" = It is
      and "Its" = belonging.


      Someone confirm with me before I kill him.

      I still think I may be right, even though I read an article that said I wasn't.

      It's = It is (a conjunction, like "don't" and "can't")

      Its = belonging to it (a possessive, like "his")

      This = Senseless Banter.

      I refuse your grammar.

      It's anger is rising.

      I agree with you, which makes you automatically correct.

      Although I use correct grammar (most of the time) myself, I am also a firm believer in understanding through context. Language evolves through disagreement and mistake.

      Apostrophes can also show possession.

      Bob's car
      Andrea's house

      However, they do not do that with pronouns. Ours, its, hers, theirs...

      It's can also mean "It has" when using the past perfect or present perfect continuous.

      As in...

      "It's been a long time since last you fapped."

      or...

      "It's been fapping a long time."

      Therefore, you both are right.

      Now kiss and make up... while fapping...

      Yes, the apostrophe substitutes the missing letters.

      Apostrophes can also show possession.

      Bob's car
      Andrea's house

      Just quoted for emphasis, too.

      I thinks its it is because if I were to say I think its glass it would also make sense as I think it is glass.

      It's is meaning belonging to such as Rachel's car. If it were to mean belonging to it would be said That is Rachel's car.

      Just search it in wikipedia or the dictionary.

      I'm wondering why I was never actually taught this in school. It seems pretty fundamental.

      You weren't.. That's a scary thought.

      Personally I think it's pretty self-explanatory though. =D

      I never learned when to use 'a' or 'an' until I asked my dad like two years ago. He hit me.

      I can't remember that either, actually.

      A house..
      A cake..
      An eel..
      An ass..
      An owl..

      Oh, I see the pattern now.
      An hero.

      The only thing I still have a bit of trouble with, is who, whom and whose. I was/were also bothers me a bit.
