Congratulations of knowing the correct spelling of “its.” I daresay that over 90 percent of Freepers spell it as “it’s,” which is the contraction of “it” and “is.”

Thanks, I guess. I was actually hoping someone would comment on - challenge or agree with - the actual thesis encoded in the text. I guess beggars can’t be choosers . . .

I used to cringe when a sports announcer would say, “He did that good.”

But I decided to be more tolerant of English grammar errors after I heard my own father - son of a school teacher and a principal, former schoolteacher, and husband of a schoolteacher - use “good” when the correct usage was “well."
