There’s another one here at http://www.angryflower.com/plural.gif , and there’s the famous quote from Gary D. Shapiro:
It’s is not, it isn’t ain’t, and it’s it’s, not its, if you mean it is. If you don’t, it’s its. Then too, it’s hers. It isn’t her’s. It isn’t our’s either. It’s ours, and likewise yours and theirs.
Its really funny.
Or is it, it’s?
better…
It is funny.
My 3rd grade daughter’s teacher gave her a low evaluation for not separating the last letter when using contraction. My daughter wrote the apostrophy correctly in the appropriate place, but she did not leave a space between the word and its last letter. For example can’t, but she did not separte the “t” from the word. Her score was a “C – “.
I do not find any text where reads that you should leave a space between the apostrophe last letter of the word and the rest of the word.
Do you have any reference or information. I am actually still fighting back the teacher.
