Attn Parkbandit.

Please describe the misuse of the letters "its" in the following:


A company distributes money to the owners of its shareholders.

This should be awesome.

You mean awesome like:

It's is a contraction for it is or it has.

Its is a possessive pronoun meaning, more or less, of it or belonging to it.

And there is absolutely, positively, no such word as its'.

A simple test
If you can replace it[']s in your sentence with it is or it has, then your word is it's; otherwise, your word is its.

Another test
Its is the neuter version of his and her. Try plugging her into your sentence where you think its belongs. If the sentence still works grammatically (if not logically) then your word is indeed its.

Examples
It's been good to know you. Contraction: it has
It's a bird! It's a plane! Contraction: it is

The dodo bird is known for its inability to fly. Possessive pronoun: its inability = the dodo bird's inability

Yea.. after I posted that I wasn't sure if "its" was incorrect.. but then I didn't really care too much. I thought it was to show possession, as in the company's stockholders.

You win.

[Leloo]

I have to say, I always wanna use "its' " it feels in my head like it works even though it clearly doesn't.

[Clove]

Can someone explain to me who Leloo is? And why is she so vapid?

[AnticorRifling]

I agree w/ g++, we need an update on your vagina.

[Leloo]

My vagina is nice and healthy, in the end it wasn't a physical problem it was a panic attack due to private reasons. I couldn't overcome the idea that I was somehow being violated and would brace myself which caused it to hurt.
