The way I always remembered the "its" or "it's" thing is that you don't use an apostrophe when you use the possesives "hers" or "his" so you wouldn't use it when "its" is possesive. I hope that makes sense because it is kinda hard to put it into words.

"It's" is "it is" and "its" is possessive. Seems backwards, but just remember that "it is" will always be spelled with an apostrophe :)

That depends on if you are using IT as a pronoun, nominative, or possessive.

I have never accepted the phrase : " GOOD " Friday, at best, I think it should be called  :"Not so hot Friday".  Anyone else share this concept ?

How about "Jesus got nailed" Friday?

 

Personally, the modern holiday is so far away from Christianity it is good Friday because the following Sunday is Easter day and also because it signifies at least a four day break from work! :)

 

Maybe we should call it "Start of Easter long weekend" Friday?

biggest pet peeve is when something goes wrong i.e car crash or a fight & everyone just watches & does nothing.

The bystander effect--related but much worse than the rubber neck effect.

Peeves: when people in the subway don't give way, i.e.: are sitting with spread legs so I can't sit.

Another one: I hate speaking to people who wear sunglasses, so I can't see the experession in their eyes.

a wonderful professor of mine said, once:

"you usually hate things in other people that you hate in yourself". 

and with that being said, my pet peeves are inattentive drivers; having to repeat myself; and loud drunks.

 

pet peeves really should make us better people, dont you think?  ...dont like it?  make sure you dont do it :)

Love this one :)

What about those who do not have pet peeves? Perhaps they believe themselves to be infallible?
