I'm sure this must have been posted before 🙂 ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2022/08/15/Screenshot_20220815-115635_Chrome.jpg) I believe the fewer/less thing is now considered by even august authorities to be a stylistic rather than grammatical issue 🙂 K

Remember - it's is short for it is! But also legitimate as the possesive of whatever the it is.

It's refreshing to witness humour, thread drift and pedantry rolling along in synch.

Remember - it's is short for it is! But also legitimate as the possesive of whatever the it is. Unfortunately not Nick! Probably the only occasion when it is not possessive. "It's is a contraction and should be used where a sentence would normally read "it is." The apostrophe indicates that part of a word has been removed. Its with no apostrophe, on the other hand, is the possessive word, like "his" and "her," for nouns without gender."
