FRiend Red Badger, it was unneccesary to insert an apostrophe into "its" in the FR headline. The spelling "its" is correct at the linked source.
Its = the possessive form of the subject pronoun it; i.e. "ridiculous story to prevent its release"

It's = a contraction of the subject pronoun "it" and the verb "is"; i.e. "it's time to release the laptop."

Oh stop it. Life is too short for that. How about you focus on on your own spelling and instead of trying to be the spelling police, maybe contribute something substantive? "unneccesary" is spelled u n n e c e s s a r y."
You're welcome. :)

Hahahaha— that always happens when a freeper gets on another freeper’s grammar or spelling! MY BAD!

But let’s face it, “its” and “it’s” are a thing around here. So is “boarders” when talking about the Texas boundary line, “loose” instead of “lose”, a festival of “there/their/they’re”, and a host of ther fat-fingerisms (present comany excepted). Give a grammar nazi a break, ’k?

No offense intended, Badge...
