Guys, please stop mistaking "its" and "it's" for one another. When you are not using a noun as a possessive you use "its" because the apostrophe is not necessary. When you use "it's" you are saying "it is."
Let's review:
>its - possessive without a noun
>it's - it is
I will use it in a sentence:
>it's (it is)
>it's (it is) a wonderful day today
>its (its)
>the dog ate its (its) dog food
Thank you for your compliance.

its not up to you to decide, its up to the person who is using it.
Rules do not work that way.

You know what you are OP? You're a fuckin' grammarian. Real linguists, especially those who study English, despise grammarians. Why? Because English is a vibrant, EVER EVOLVING language. Rules that dictate grammar are totally arbitrary. Until English is truly dead, until the only ones that speak it are pompous little beige boys at the University of Mohammad (Boston branch), you can't honestly justify any criticism of my grammar. FUCK YOU, OP. WHILE ENGLISH LIVES I AM LITERALLY INFALLIBLE!!
thank you. I wasn't aware of that.
I don't have a problem using this rule.
But English should just copy Sweden here.
Possessive should just be an S (no apostrophe) for all words and names, as it is for "its".
Context clearly tells you if it's plural or not, every time.
What about fun and funny? Everybody uses fun as an adjective. That's plainly wrong.
>Let's have fun!
>You're funny!
>Fun is the best thing in life
>Funny people amuse me
Is it clear now?
You're a mushroom )get it(
only brainlets can't handle posessive it's.
it's a forced change to make it's into its,
and it's only really a thing in the US.
OK but fun as an adjective doesn't have the same meaning as funny:
Fun game -- capable of giving you an enjoyable time
Funny game -- capable of making you laugh.
there*
"Confliction" is not a word.
its time to fuck off
I don't really care about this thread, but I do want to tell everyone that there was a Naked Gun tv show and that it's fucking great.
>brainlet doesn't understand predicative complements
At my old job, a lawyer with 25+ years of experience tried to use “its’” in a contract I was proofreading and attempted to justify it when I brought it up to him
Yeah, I liked the humour of it.
It's pretty good.
as a non english speaker can please someone explain to me how this shit works
mama's bed = the bed of mama ?
or is it
mama bed's ?
Holy fuck
my dad never use it's because phone doesn't add the ' automatically. It is her way, it's ok for me.
back to the second grade user
>its - possessive without a noun
>it's - it is
I'm defiantly certain its the other way around
my 1st grade teacher told me so
Mama bed's sounds cuter. That's what matters.
The former is correct.
hope u do know that many ppl here use "its" in either situ8tion since its tedious to insert apostrophes
Not applicable when I am saying people add the apostrophe. Laziness is not an excuse, by the way.
in dis particular case, no, its not an excuse
>my dad
>her
