    Can’t we solve this problem like Elon would solve the problem and simply store the cheese in space?

          Tbh the possesive form of “it” is a bitch. For all other words you do 's to indicate possession, but for this exact word you leave out the apostrophe. Whether vs weather, their, there, vs they’re, or your vs you’re, they all have nothing on this contra intuitive POS of a rule.

          Also the correct response to your comment would be: always has been

            Only if the words are nouns, not for pronouns. “Its” is a possessive pronoun, like his, hers, ours, yours, theirs. None of those words use apostrophes.

              Motherforking shirtballs! You made it make sense. Of cause “it” is a pronoun, and thus follows pronoun rules. Thank you.

            it’s interesting how non-native speakers almost never confuse those though

            we make other kinds of mistakes, personally i really struggle with prepositions in every one of my non-native languages, because my native language doesn’t have them, but has a weird suffix system instead
