Hear bell. Run to master. Drool uncontrollably.

I must admit, I have the above Pavlonian response whenever I read a literary item. I’ll be perusing a text of some sort, stop at a usage of “its,” and wonder exactly what it is the world’s coming to. I’v made it a practice to conciously think about every “its” and “it’s” that I may use in any of my works. (This goes double for graded papers.) That being typed...I have indeed made a mistake or two when utilizing this particular form of punctuation. However, with that in mind, I have sought to better myself and to fix this problem. It’s not like it can’t be done. We simply have to put our minds to it. Though I must end this blog with a dare, I believe. I dare you to think about how many times a day in which you use the word “its” or “it’s.” Anyone surprised?

And the young man turned to the little boy and said, “I’ve one-upped ya kid. I see dead people and dead PUNCTUATION.”
