Edit: Yo, I'm not saying this is gonna happen. I just want to say that Windew's UX sucks ass.

That's how I learned to use the posessive pronoun of "it".

Unfortunately, the rules for apostrophes in English are made up for each individual word. Lots of native speakers get it wrong, and I don't know how non-native speakers could possibly keep it all straight.

So... am I wrong?

[–] frezik@midwest.social 7 points 5 hours ago

Yes. It should be "its".

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 7 points 9 hours ago

That I believe is only for plurals, such as:

(one) cat's paw vs (multiple) cats' paws

It, however, is not a plural, otherwise it would be "they". Though I must admit I've probably made the same mistake myself.

Possessive it is "its"

It's = it is

English s weird

Great meme though!
