Excuse me, you all know what a tolerant, easygoing soul I am ( :wah: ) but if there`s one other little thing which just makes my blood boil........

people using the apostrophe in ITS incorrectly!!!!!!!!



An apostrophe should only be used in ITS when shortening "It is"



NOT when denoting possession!!!!!!

eg, it`s a nice day today (apostrophe)

the dog chewed its bone (NO apostrophe)

Thank you! :) :) :)

I TOTALLY agree with you!

Have you read the book "Eats Shoots and Leaves"?

It comes from a joke which says: Whats the difference between a big game hunter in a restaurant and a Panda?

One eats shoots and leaves and the other eats shoots and leaves!

:D
