I'm sure this must have been posted before 🙂

I believe the fewer/less thing is now considered by even august authorities to be a stylistic rather than grammatical issue 🙂

No, I don't think "needs" is equivalent to "should"

Pedant model well engaged.....

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

Unfortunately not Nick! smile 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."
