gardening momma Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Technically, the kitten did not die. I think it was wounded, though. They did not use the apostrophe to pluralize; they used it to show possession. It's just that it's and its is an exception to the rule.

Kitten maiming is still a crime against grammar, especially since all personal pronouns are exceptions to the rule in question. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matryoshka Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 It's just that it's and its is an exception to the rule. In no way is 'its' for possession an exception to any rule. Nouns use apostrophes to show possession. Pronouns (like 'it') never do. (his, hers, its, ours, yours, theirs). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figure kittens die when apostrophes are improperly used! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNC Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 What a strange typo - CLE LA drills it and it's to absolute death... I will never make that mistake again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
