Pretty odd contraction seeing as it has the same number of symbols ... just a space between them 🙂

Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

But also legitimate as the possesive of whatever the it is.

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."

Humour, thread drift and education! I didn't know that Graham, many thanks
Nick

Alistair, I refer to those who, for example, insist on putting " 's" (e.g. car's) rather than just adding an "s" to the end of a word (e.g. cars - which is the plural of car).
Just as bad are those that add 's, instead of the correct "ies", e.g. universities (correct, but they write university's - which means belong to a university).
Things that were drummed into me during school English lessons (and by my folks smile ).
