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
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!!
Lucas Davis
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.
Dominic Richardson
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?
Jose Clark
You're a mushroom )get it(
Juan Roberts
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.
Jason Butler
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.

"Confliction" is not a word.

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.
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
Jace James
Yeah, I liked the humour of it.
It's pretty good.
Jaxson Watson
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
Zachary Stewart
my dad never use it's because phone doesn't add the ' automatically. It is her way, it's ok for me.
Justin Myers
back to the second grade user
Nathan Scott
>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
Jackson Rivera
Mama bed's sounds cuter. That's what matters.
Camden Lopez
The former is correct.
Connor Wood
hope u do know that many ppl here use "its" in either situ8tion since its tedious to insert apostrophes
Ayden Harris
Not applicable when I am saying people add the apostrophe. Laziness is not an excuse, by the way.
