Grammar Pet Peeves

This drives me crazy. The proper use of the possessive form of "it".

The possessive form of "it" is "its". No apostrophe.

EXAMPLE - "Gamma Phi Beta can be proud of its 134 year history."

"It's" is short for "it is".

EXAMPLE - "It's not how you start, it's how you finish."


Thank you. I feel much better now.

Do you have any other grammatical pet peeves?
