grammar peeves


From the Grammarly Facebook page.

We actually think "it's" should be accepted as the possessive of "it" - there is no good reason for an exception to the possessive apostrophe formation - and as someone points out on the page, "effect" may also be used as a verb, meaning to bring about or to cause to come into being and is separate from the verb "affect."

But as it says on the list it's is a contraction of it is.

It should be both.
