All Your Base Are Turned Five

Before then there was only an oddly (brilliantly?) translated game. But five years ago, someone set up us the bomb!" The Flash Video is, of course, still available.

  1. I always used to get "its" and "it's" wrong by DeadSea · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    • it's - contraction of it is. The apostophe replaces the dropped i in is.
    • its - possesive form of it. Since it is a prounoun, the possesive does not have an apostrophe.

    Normally the rule for possesives is "add 's to make a word possesive." The exeception to pay attention to is that for all pronouns, the possesive never has an apostrophe. Rather the possesive form of a pronoun is a whole new dictionary word. Take for example: his, hers, yours, theirs, and its. None of the possesive pronouns have an apostrophe. Nobody tries to add an apostrophe and make it hi's because he changes so dramatically when you make it possesive and it is easy to realize that it is a new word. A few people add an apostophe to hers, yours, or theirs because it is almost like following the "add 's to make a word possesive" rule. Its is the most confusing because it is so similar to the normal possesive rule and the contraction it's exists so that when you add an apostophe it looks right because you have seen it somewhere before.

    So when I want to write its or it's I think that possesive pronoun usage is like his and I drop the apostrophe because possesive pronouns never have one.
