"It's" means "it is" or "it has." Literally translated (and you asked me to be pedantic), you said "Then don't ask me what it is meaning is." What the hell does that mean? Like I said, you asked me to be pedantic.

Yes I see now. I didn't need the apostrophe in the "its". Thanks for squaring away my punctuation. You may be of some use after all.

"And keep the wife barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen where she belongs?"

Did you want an answer to this or are you just baiting?

"LOL...that's rich coming from you. You can't even tell the difference between the possessive case of a pronoun and subject/verb contraction. FYI, they taught that in elementary school.

Yes, yes, you caught my extra apostrophe. But I never claimed to be pedantic. So, how is that rich?

Wow, you sure know how to make a girl feel loved.

You decide.

"That's" is accepted vernacular for "that is."

I'll save you the trouble and provide you with a link right now:
