Grammar lesson: Its vs It’s
You know what pisses me off? When people mess up the words its and it’s.
You know what really pisses me off? When this mistake is made on something that a lot of people see. Restaurant menus, posters, websites, billboards… what is going on America? It’s not that hard!
Here is a grammar lesson for those of you still messing it up:
It’s is a contraction for it is or it has.
Its is a possessive pronoun meaning, more or less, of it or belonging to it.
There is no such word as its’, dummy.
Still not sure? Go get help. You’re retarded. Or test it:
If you can replace it[']s in your sentence with it is or it has, then your word is it’s; otherwise, your word is its.
Examples:
It’s been my pleasure to educate your dumb ass. Contraction: it has
It’s fucking annoying when people mess up contractions! Contraction: it is
The retard howled when it got its arm slammed in the door. Possessive pronoun: its arm = the retard’s arm
