    @roxxi

    “it’s” should be “its”

    It’s a play on words.

    Yes Em, but it also says “Dog can’t hold it is licker.”

    No, an apostrophe is used to denote ownership as well as point out contractions. Am I the only one who pays attention in English class?

    Wrong! An apostrophe is used for contractions only, e.g. you’re (you are), it’s (it is) while your and its (no apostrophe) denote ownership, e.g. your house, its tail. Which English class are you in? @AAARGH!!!! I’m calm.

    oops! my bad! in some cases, an apostrophe denotes ownership also, e.g., owner’s right, etc. I guess, it just doesn’t apply with it’s and its.

    @AAARGH!!!! I’m calm.

    Person who wrote this can’t hold it’s English.

    You’re right that apostrophes denote ownership, but not on pronouns.

    @AAARGH!!!! I’m calm.

    Apparently you’re the only one who DIDN’T pay attention in English class. The possessive “its” doesn’t require an apostrophe any more than “hers” does.

    Also, “it” should be “his” or “her”. A dog is not an object, people!

  17. Sean on November 20th, 2009 at 6:52 pm

    Neither can some men

    @Anonymous
    “It” can refer to an inanimate object, or to a person or animal if the gender is unknown or immaterial.

    The Maven :
    Person who wrote this can’t hold it’s English.

    I agree. :P

    The “licker” thing is a lame pun. The possessive “its” does not require an apostrophe. “It’s” means “it is.” “Its” shows ownership.
