El Pibe Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 the former. its breaks the rules of possessive apostrophes because I guess "it's" means "it is" rather than belonging to it.

Dopamine1979 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Aha. So the rule of possessive apostrophes only applies to proper nouns e.g The dog bites El Pibe's bottom.

david_carnell Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 "It's" is always "it is", never possessive.I think the only other time the rule is broken is with numbers. i.e. "I'm all at 6's and 7's" Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/24301-random-stuff/page/14/#findComment-768958 Share on other sites More sharing options...
???? Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I get annoyed with that and numbers, specifically dates. Surely it should be th 1980s not the 1980's - as 1980's has a separate meaning as in "1980's summer was especially wet"?

El Pibe Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 I think it's generally considered acceptable when clearing up ambiguity, say cd's rather than the tla cds.DC's sxamples are legit but have been falling out of favour over the years.

Loz Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 It's OK, though I can't see why it become the biggest animated film ever. More of a Disney film (one layered obvious plot, all aimed at kids) than a Pixar film (lots of clever subplots and references that adults get and slightly go over children's heads).Having seen kids watch it, girls tend to like it more than boys.

El Pibe Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 saw a photo of by a pal in new york on fb and it struck me that the new 1 WTC building looked like it had a minaret on top.A curious decision i thought.Freakish mistake or heavy handed symbolism?I googled to find out if this was done deliberately and, well, do it yourself.Apparently me and a world of crazies share this opinion, noone else seems to want to mention it....
