# no
it is = it's

its (possesive) = its

it's the only exception to the rule

# Okay, that's alright.
I was actually looking for confirmation. Possessive apostrophes were the only thing I can't be too sure about. I WAS SURE I WAS TAUGHT TO USE APOSTROPHES IN POSSESSIVE SITUATIONS. FUCK MY ENGLISH TEACHER UP FOR ME PLEASE.

# His, hers, its.
All technically exceptions, but they predate possessive apostrophes so it would be they that are the exception.

Also: Oneself

# Greengrocer's apostrophe, been around for years.
Was your rant almost exactly identical to Stew's one in TMWRNJ where he shouts "Show me! Show me this carrot which owns 10p, of course not it can't possibly exist, a capitalist carrot!"

# Just take tippex round and tippex out all the apostrophes.
This will probably annoy them for unknown and irrational reasons.

# an flier??
was reading a menu somewhere (may have been in london) and they'd put an apostrophe before every s.
was horrible


I also think we need to start shooting people who use the word loose when they mean lose

# YES
an flier was the result of changing advertisement to flier, not bad spelling.
