's = shows fucking possession

it's = ???

it's = it fucking is

its = a fucking possessive pronoun, just like "my", "his", "her", "our". For example:

I eat my sandwich

He eats his sandwich

It eats its sandwich

One eats one's sandwich

Note how no possessive pronouns have an apostrophe except for "one's". So "its" isn't really an exception, "one's" is the exception.

jane's X

dad's X

mom's X

its X

jane's x means that jane is x, bro. jane doesn't have x.

-you're grammarian

if it wasn't clear..

there's your exception

I'm going to assume that people are seriously making these mistakes, and not just trolling.

"It" is a pronoun, so it behaves differently. Just like "his", "her", "our", and so on. If you want to make a noun possessive, you add an apostrophe and an s.

Examples:

Jane -> Jane's

dad -> dad's

If you want to make a pronoun possessive, you switch it to the possessive form, which doesn't have an apostrophe in it (with the exception of "one's").

Examples:

he -> his

me -> my

we -> our

it -> its

Jane's can be either a contraction of "Jane is", or the possessive of "Jane".

Examples:

Jane's mom is a bitch (possessive)

Jane's a bitch (contraction)

Jane has a car.

Jane may have a car.

Notice how the verb "to have" changes form when you add another verb in there. There are more examples.

Jane does have a car.

me neither

God grammar makes me so hard.

I can't tell if Craig is a troll or not. . . 99% of pics he posts here are either a) not funny at all (see the pic above) or b)insta- (see the pic of the cat/James Bond reference)

But, then, like the blood red moon rising above the fields as locusts devour the crops and the first born child of the infidels are culled by the Rider of the Pale horse, once in a fucking blue moon he actually posts something which is pretty damn funny (see . . . well, fuck, it'll take me a sec to find one) and I probably lol harder at that than anything, probably because of contrast more than anything else.

So, maybe Craig is just a genius and I'm the troll. Anyway, here's some funny pics so you can ignore my ranting:

Craig is neither a troll nor a genius. he just posts randomly and without a pattern. it just happens that sometimes he actually brings something funny
