I Would Like Everyone To Know

[Tilly2]

that I do know that 'its' does not have an apostrophe when denoting possession.

My 9.03 answer was an aberration!

[boxtops]

Tilly, you're forgiven, we know that you know! :-)

[factor-fiction]

No -it was correct, wasn't it. It wasn't about possessives.

Thing's was sort for THING IS.
It's was short for IT IS.

[Mick-Talbot]

Phew................Im glad you cleared that up!

[NoMercy]

Plurals don't require apostrophes either, but try telling some people that...

[Prudie]

Where is this post Tilly? the jury's out!

[Tilly2]

No factor, it was 'this things'............its. I did get it wrong. I can't believe I did that!

[Mick-Talbot]

Exactly , Nom....... They just wont bloody listen!

I'm mortified!

[factor-fiction]

No Tilly- the correct clue was THIS THING'S...

As in "This thing's confusing."
So "It's confusing" would be okay.

[Tilly2]

Oh, that's alright then. Phew!

[Prudie]

As in "This thing's confusing."
You can say that again

[Mick-Talbot]

Oh, that's alright then. Phew!

Well not really................. this thread looks silly now...........

[Tilly2]

Yes it does, Mick. However, I can take it.

[parkie]

Think I'll go back to bed.

[Tilly2]

Sweet dreams ,parkdale. Just don't dream of aberrant apostrophes will you?
Yawn!
