... doesn't know when to use apostrophies. It's not it's, it's its.
Hehehe, yeah, no apostrophe in "its" when you are talking about a thing belonging to something or someone and you are using a pronoun like his, her or its. If that makes sense. Laurie can explain it better than I.

... better start planning to have his English teacher fired because ECM is correct.
it's = contraction of "it is" or sometimes "it has", as in "It's got to stop."
its = possessive form of "it"
it's = contraction of "it is" or sometimes "it has", as in "It's got to stop."
its = possessive form of "it"

...is most assuredly correct
As Grammar Goddess of the Universe, I concur with the data above.
Your English teacher is a putz.
Bwa ha ha.
Its fingers are burned as it's sticking them into hot soup.
Its--> possessive. Fingers belong to "it"
it's--> contraction. It is performing an action.

Wandering through this world of woe
But there's no sickness, no fear or danger
In that bright land
To which I go

...could possibly release a box of live rats in the moronic English teacher's classroom in hopes they'd swarm up her legs and terrify her into a mental collapse.

... is to be worshipped an praised at all opportunities.
can I be your court jester? (it's a good idea: I'm less likely to be consigned to the vats if I have a function other than general hanger on or possible rival pirate. easy life too: all I have to do is make some unfunny jokes (which I'm good at) and prefix posts with 'I say, I say, I say')
pretty please?

You realize, of course, that my court jester doubles as my whipping boy whenever the person I really desire to whip is temporarily out of my reach?
Still interested in the job?
And do you have a harlequin outfit? My jesters must be clothed in the official harlequin outfit. And I execute mimes on sight, so don't do any mime work.

... should realise that since I hang around here a lot anyway, I don't have any ability to avoid getting goulashed/boiled/deepfried/etc. *anyway* so i might as well have a title and posh clothes to go with the pain.
