Don't worry there aren't

. There's quite a few but no where near 101. Once you get to the end of the jokes tehy start over again in the same order.

The "I hope I don't need a sturgeon" one was probably the best.

"It's" is correct in that context. Why did you put [sic]? the nose belongs to "it".

Badwolf · 08/23/2009, 11:49 am

No it's not, it'd uncontract as "plug up it is nose".

fwed1 · 08/23/2009, 11:53 am

But the apostrophe notes possesion in this case not a contraction.

MaxFan · 08/23/2009, 12:36 pm

As Strong Bad once said,

"If you want it to be a possessive, it's just I-T-S, but if it's supposed to be a contraction then it's I-T-apostrophe-S.

Scalawag."

Well, English is my third language and even I know it's "its" when you want to indicate possession. (Yes, it's an exception to the rule etcetera and it's a common mistake, but still...)

**Jake** · 08/23/2009, 01:29 pm

"It's" = short for "it is," or "it has."

In (almost) all other contexts, use "its" without the apostrophe and you'll be in the clear.

Should I be annoyed that I was corrected by telltale staff even though they made this exact mistake in the game?

It seems to me that they are assuming and correcting their mistake in a subtle way, so we don't notice they made the mistake. :-)

Pff that was Mark, not me!

LuigiHann · 08/23/2009, 04:23 pm

Since "it" is a pronoun and not a real noun, you can't add "-'s" to the end to make it possessive like you do with other words. I don't say "he's nose," I say "his nose," and the same applies with "it."

"Its" is a possessive pronoun, like "his" or "your" or "my."

Hopefully that helps you to wrap your minds around the word.

Of course not... it'd have to be "him's nose".
