just arrived in detroit and it's fancy new airport.


just arrived in detroit and it's fancy new airport.
i never know where the possessive 's' should go in 'it's'.
it's?
its'?
its?
ok, minus the 'its', detroit has a fancy new airport.
not as impressive as the joe louis fist statue. but a nice new airport nonetheless.
and i was mistaken, i'm dj'ing saturday night at demf.
for some reason i thought i was dj'ing tonight(friday).
nope. i was wrong. saturday night.
on the vitamin water stage in hart plaza at 10pm.
now it's 4 a.m and i should go to sleep.
see you saturday.

"it's" is a contraction of it is or it has ... so

if you're not sure, just expand the word (remove the apostrophe) & see if it still makes sense/reads correctly. Using your example: just arrived in detroit and it's fancy new airport = just arrived in detroit and (it is)/(it has) new airport. doesn't flow, right? hope this helps with your uncertainty vs adding to its confusion. =)

Sleep

GO to sleep? At 4am? Get a grip on yourself man, there's still some darkness left.

Thank ye

Thanks for coming to DEMF. Even tho I worked and wasn't able to attend, it was still good to hear that the festival grew this year.

You put the "Fist" in "Pacifist" my friend.

problems with Eng

Hi Moby, lucky you - I wish I had only such problems with English... I hope you enjoyed Detroit and its fancy new airport :) best regards

it's doesn't take a

it's doesn't take a possessive apostrophe, so Its is fine :)

Looking forward to Saturday

his her its

here's how i remember it - you wouldn't write hi's or he'r, you write his or her. so when it's possessive, write its.

peace and love,
bill
