It's not as easy as @movies@lemmy.world suggests though, I think. Yes, apostrophe means you're using a contraction, so "it's" should be easy. But apostrophe also means possession in almost every other case. "It's" and "there's" are literally the only examples I can think of in standard English where an apostrophe can be used, but cannot mean possession. Native speakers still have no excuse, but it is a bit of a weird oddity that has to be learnt. What really bug's me is when people randomly throw apostrophe's in where they just make no sense, on what should be simple plural word's or even just verb conjugation's. And it happen's all the damn time.

It can go with "he", "she", or "they" depending on the person. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago* Agender? I'm looking online now and the closest thing I can find is that some nonbinary people prefer it/its, so that was probably the closest one/best guess from the start. Edit: Null gender seems like the closest thing I can find, besides the random nonbinaries that prefer it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] riwo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) i think u did great with ur guess of nonbinary :3 one cant really infer gender from pronouns but i think for it/its pronouns, general nonbinary is as fair a guess as agender. just because they/them is a more commonly used pronoun for nonbinary ppl, that doesnt mean they wont use whatever other pronouns they vibe with.
