On Tue, 14 Apr 1998 20:18:55 GMT, Peter@adelheid.demon.co.uk (Peter G. Strangman) claims to have created this little gem: >A number of people seem to get confused with: [snipped good stuff - shame] >"it's", a contraction of "it is". > >When considering "yours", "theirs" "its" etc. remember that >"our's" is the exception requiring an aposrophe. I have it from a die hard authority on the English language that "its" is exempt the apostrophy also. He is a proof reader for "English" text book, so I guess I will take his admonishment when I sent him an email with "it's" It is its. Its not it's!
