Then you just say “the doodad belonging to it”.
Typing is different than writing and has little to do with knowing the differences which everyone does since it’s taught early in every school and more to do with mistakes, habits or being in a hurry but only grammar nazi’s care and get themselves all riled up over it. If you can understand the intended meaning, which obviously grammar nazi’s do or they wouldn’t complain, then the important aspect of communication has been established. Most texts are used for communicating and not professionally.
This isn’t a real world issue, it’s a mental one. To let such things bother you is to let others control you. I have the power to influence a complete strangers emotions such as rage in certain people by simply mispelling or misusing words…now that’s power. So all of you grammar nazi’s, are you really going to let others control your emotions like that?
You’re right. Your post just induced, at least for this reader, slight but definitely significant feelings of sadness and nausea. I may have even winced once or twice.
To think, even though I’m an experienced and -dare I say?- accomplished grammar nazi, all it took was one insulting and awkwardly written little note to have forced me into a belief that you are an idiot. Oh, to again have the control you’ve so rudely wrested from me! Alas, I yield to your communicative mastery…

It sucks that" it has" and" it is" are both “it’s”, its like English is hard or something. Spell checker and grammar checker both let that go by with out a thought.

Wrong. If you do not know the difference between “its” and “it’s”, stop using the words “its” and “it’s”.
I solved this years ago.
It’s** its’** in every circumstance.
Or maybe I should say, “its’ its’ in every circumstance.”
See, its’ benefit is that its’ going to keep everyone unhappy.
Unless you’ve been contracted to write the script for a new Addams family movie how often do you use the possessive form of it?
Irregardless, for all intensive purposes my friends and myself could care less if we flaunt some stupid rules alot.
per say, and sick.
not typing an apostrophe could be construed as just internet speak not bothering with proper formatting
putting an apostrophe where it doesn’t belong just shows you don’t know the rule
I think it’s plain to see.
I see what you did there (though I fear you didn’t do it in jest).
I thought the link would be to this.
So you’re saying it’s a mute point.
Fairly frequently. It’s handy for describing the attributes of an inanimate object. If I’m discussing my house, I can say that its roof is 25 years old and it may be time for a new one, and it would be nice if its living room were a little bigger.
No, but it looks like I can finish my novel now. Thanks.
