You were kidding about this, were’nt you? To whit: “mistake of confusing the possesive” Or is that the correct British spelling of possessive???

LOL @ Sars. I like and shall follow that rule — choosing “its” since I won’t need the Shift key.

Oh, my gawd! Do you think it’s the fault of the signwriter who’s doing something to the shop on the right?

A friend of mine once submitted a report to his boss. She returned it a few days later with a note that said ‘you flip back and forth between “it’s” and “its”. I don’t think it matters which one we use, so long as we’re consistent. I went through and fixed them all’.
