    Possessive is normally done with an apostrophe. The dog's toy. The apartment's lobby.

    But when possessive goes on the pronoun "it"? No apostrophe.

    Look out for the monster. Its fangs are sharp.

    If you put an apostrophe, that's for "it is".

    This bothers me slightly. There's history illinonating why it happened, but I don't like it.

    ::: spoiler You mean like his and her?
    Possessive pronouns don't use apostrophes.

      It’s English. First it’s needed to make the spelling and sounding uniform.

        And I dont mean of we were logically talking about the language etymologically, I mean words that make sense on your brain with a different spelling. Unreasonable stupid spellings.

        For me:

        • Colledge for college
        • Occean for ocean
        • Pation for passion

        These were mistakes I made as a kid and I get it

          As a general rule, all 'C's should make a 'Ch' sound and leave 'S' and 'K' the fuck alone.

              Drop the letter C, and reformat everything to be phonetic.

                  The "dk" in your title should probably be spelled "do."

                  Colonel needs an R in it, or to be pronounced co-lo-nel instead of ker-nel.
