Alt.possessive.its.has.no,apostrophe used to delight in finding these things, but there are so many that the group moved on to more esoteric topics.

Now happily retired. >From another newsgroup: > >"at the end of each individual number in its's cell" > >It *might* have been a slip of the finger, I suppose (hope)...

I have lived in Western Pa. 10 years Indianapolis 10 years Chicago 6 years Brooklyn, NY 12 years Baltimore 26 years >>"at the end of each individual number in its's cell" > I don't suppose he meant "Itzy's". :) Now I have this horrible feeling that the OP actually pronounces the word /itsəz/...
