Re: It's and Its

Javier,

    I am sorry that was me typing with my child in one arm and not being to
careful in my placement of apostrophes. I supppose I find it a bit scary
that you actually took the time to point out my mistake in grammar on my
email. I bow to your massive english powers! Anoint me with your silver
tongue and your typing fingers of gold! I have sinned...SINNED!... and its
it's it is so bad.
