Tony's a bitch. Sounds like a long time ago.....think the big haired teacher would look good in a thong leotard doing aerobics?

Reprocessing response...

Back in the days of my youth, when grammar was just a uninteresting subject taught by an old lady with big hair, I remember being taught to write its' as a possessive pronoun. Apparently that use to be a thing, but is no longer considered even remotely correct. I still see it from time to time, and every single time I'm forced to ponder about it and rememeber that big haired lady that taught me wrong. That same lady forced me to give that red headed bitch Tony Blocker back her pretzels, AFTER I traded her my cheetos, she ate them, and then told the teacher I had stolen her snack. Inevitably any recollection of that lady triggers my emotional trauma regarding those pretzels, and I prefer not to be reminded. Thank you for forcing me to relive it.

1. If the possessive noun is singular, always add an apostrophe + s.
2. If the possessive noun does not end in -s (in its written form), always add an apostrophe + s.
3. If the possessive noun is plural and ends in -s (and this is a characteristic feature of the large majority of plural nouns), just add an apostrophe.
4. Edit, Possessive pronouns like yours, his, hers, ours, its and theirs are not followed by an apostrophe.

Welcome to TnT!

Insisting on new health care providers based on the use of a "non" word seems to be a bit extreme.

But I like that style. If I'm not pleased it is time for me to look elsewhere to effect a change.

My son's first obstetrician used "irregardless" in a sentence. I insisted we find a new doctor.

Excellent choice, when choosing a surgical specialty you want to prioritize wordsmith.

People that use are instead of our. It's clearly not the same but I see it all the fucking time.
