Quick and stupid grammar question
I know the answer but Word keeps telling me I'm wrong. Now I'm questioning whether I know the correct answer or not.

It's as in 'belonging to It' (denoting possession) does have an apostrophe, right?


Sorry for idiocy, I am a merkin after all.

Edit: nevermind, I added something else to the sentence and now Word says I'm correct. Damn microsoft.

Possessive pronouns do not have apostrophes:

"the hotel has its own swimming pool"


Names however, have apostrophes:

"b3tamax's house has a swimming pool"

Simples.

because it's is always short for "it is"
it therefore does not have its apostrophe when it's possessive.

So I was wrong
and Word was correct when it said I was wrong. Then when it decided I was correct, it became wrong also.

Maybe I should just go to lunch and pretend none of this exists.
