I assume that English is your mother tongue*


If you're going to be a grammar troll at least get your own right ;p

P.S. You succeeded in being condescending.
P.P.S Being condescending is not good.

PPPS I love being condescending

Also, I was totes just testing you ;)
No but seriously I don't really care about grammar too much, except for the bloody apostrophes (even though I (rarely) make the mistake when typing fast) which do my head in.

Luckily i can pull it off IRL because of my messed up accent, everyone think i'm being adorable.

Lost as always
Just to correct the "corrector" and for the sake of being more complete than you were so far:

's is also used in the genitive form, or in more common English, when possession needs to be expressed. As per your explanation, I'd have to replace 's with "is"...will be interesting.

Consider:
My brother's bike
My brother's bikes
My brothers' bike
My brothers' bikes

Then to top it all off, in vernacular English the 's is also used to replace "has"...

Cheers,
Bel*.
I think Strongbad said it best.

While normally an apostrophe is used as a possessive, the exception is its, which is a possessive, whereas it's is the contraction.

Now You Know!
