    “it’s” should be “its”

    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.

    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!

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

    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.
