Why is it that American's think that the possessive of "it" is "its" and not the obviously correct "it's"

Why is it that a Canadian thinks that the plural of American is American's?

 

[MongGrel]

The OP seemed incorrect to me to begin with.

Not bothering in a grammar fight.

LOL did you change that? I know I didn't type that in the OP. That's very funny.

It wasn't changed or edited. Having been caught out by allisolm, you weren't even bright enough to pretend you did it on purpose.

You are a special kind of stupid.

 

[cbrunny]

Wow

 

[who?]

Its' is possesive. That's stupid is the contracted form of that is stupid.

The thread reveals it's hilarity.

Just remember that apostrophes never pluralize. '70s, not 70's, no matter how often you see that in official places. It is almost always needed to substitute for omitted characters in a contraction and sometimes in other places (19 from 1970s in my example above). Though it is also used with the letter s to denote ownership, it is left out of the word "its" to distinguish it from the contraction. This is English, not "American."

You fail five words in. Please shut up.
