[...], like a dog that's had a painful growth removed from it's genitals."</i><br /><br />Those two cases of "it's" should both be an <b><i>its</i></b> (possessive form of the pronoun <i>it</i>), not "it's" (abbreviation of <i>it is</i> or <i>it has</i>).<br /><br />I often have to remind Dr. Phil "The Bad Astronomer" Plait about that as well.The_Self-preservation_Societyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07880280894831883225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1440286750138199044.post-78955710810741131462010-02-02T21:03:08.163-08:002010-02-02T21:03:08.163-08:00Dear Science,

Well, not Language, but the personification of more or less correct conventional language in the service of intellectual discourse.<br /><br />I love what you're doing here, Science, nice, clear, funny and engaging stuff, but you really need to pay more attention to your apostrophes! The possessive <i>its</i> is really better off without it.<br /><br />Thank you for writing, Science, and do keep us posted.<br /><br />Maybe Media will discover a use for me, once it has listened to you.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />LanguageLucy Kemnitzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04995474199607974511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1440286750138199044.post-46299789416814771062010-01-23T13:28:43.153-08:002010-01-23T13:28:43.153-08:00I think I need to get me some Tolkien supplements....I think I need to get me some Tolkien supplements.
