It breaks the possession rule. "Its" is possessive, "it's" is a contraction of "it is". The other one that really bothers me is when people misuse "whose" and "who's".<BR/><BR/>"Whose", possessive. "Who's" contraction.<BR/><BR/>I won't even start on the they're/their/there problem. If you graduated from high school you should know the difference.<BR/><BR/>Punctuation is my problem. I have an ongoing love affair with the comma splice.Taymalinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13894922480703350634noreply@blogger.com
