It’s an apple Magic Mouse and its new battery backup.
The possessive of “it” is just “its”
“It’s” is short for “it is” like “you’re” for “you are”
I’m not trying to be rude—just want to be helpful. I used to incorrectly use it’s the same way.
So did they write "its" or "it's"? Because the comment is currently correct.
I was too focused on the first "it's" that I missed there was a second one. You're right.
It isn't fixed.
its fixed now
You get a reluctant sidevote from me
👍 😃
Subtle.
No, it's not fixed.
I think they just wanted to use its wrong
What about it's wrong?
Downvoters must have hated being in school. Rude teachers correcting grammar all day...
But for Henry's it's still apostrophe s. Because that makes sense.
Its is a possessive pronoun. His, hers, theirs, and its, not hi's, her's, their's, and it's.
