Pet Peeves

(Attention Conservation Notice: Don't worry about peeving me or anyone, or about where your apostrophes go. Just write what you know and let those who don't (like me) worry about the proofreading. The information below is only for those times when a grammarian isn't available.)

I have a police evidence locker full of apostrophes I have confiscated from people who think that every instance of the letters i, t, s must have one.

The only people who make me fear more for the happy future of the Human Race as a sentient species are the people who never put an apostrophe in "its".

It's really simple.

• It is. If it is "it is", it get gets its apostrophe.

• If it's just the possessive form of "it" (as above), it isn't entitled to one.

• If it's "it has", then we may safely write "If it's got an apostrophe, that's okay".
