Supercube Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 It is? I always thought it was use for something like "That CD's label". It's dual purpose in that case; there's so many irregularities within the English language!
Rummy Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 Go back to Grammerland you big fat grammer nazis! I'll talk, write and spell however the hell I like! I do it when I talk, and I'll do it here too! *grammar 6) "It" is a pronoun and should not have an apostrophe when it's plural. (And yes, I did get that right as I was using "it's" as a contraction of "it is") Would this one be more the case that if 'It' was the pronoun, then 'It's' would be fine. I'm sure 'Its' is not a plural of the pronoun it, nor can there even be a plural of the pronoun 'It', you must simply use another pronoun. It's more the case 'Its' is actually a possessive pronoun in itself, like his, hers, theirs, ours, yours, none of which has an apostrophe(I've only used ones ending in s, as you can see), and I believe are seperate from their s-less counterparts(our, her, your etc).

But that's because in my dialect the word "the" isn't really said it's implied. For all southerners on TV: No we don't spit the letter T out every time the appears in a sentence.

Sometimes but occasionally the "its" in question refers to an equivalent of the s-less version of hers, yours etc. As in "on its own" which would be equal to "on her own" or "our" or "your" etc.
