"Yeah, it's got a Hemi"

Swass · Guest

Yep - in big, white die-cut letters. It looked like a "factory" sticker, too.

So....WTF?????? ITS!

There's an inspection sticker in the elevator at work that reads "certificate of inspection in managers office." Again....WTF?????? MANAGER'S!!!!!

STOP THE MADNESS!

"IT'S", in that case, is a contraction for the words It + Has, so it is correct.

Swass · Guest

"It has got..."? Yeah, that's better. Confused

I wish you did write it. At least I'd know who to blame!

dear wb.com users,

please do not argue with Swass when it's regarding grammar. he'll make you look dumber than you already are.

thank you,

the management.

It's is not "It Has". It's is a contraction of "It is" or a possesive of something.

re re · Addict Joined: 02 Jul 2004 Posts: 723

It's can be either "It is" or "it has". "It's" is not the possessive form of "it". "It's" is ONLY a contraction.

Only rednecks use it as It Has. Sorry but if you do, you're a redneck.

jumalian, oh he's been wrong before. I remember a debate over where to put the period when dealing with.. was it parenthesis or quotation marks. Anyway it was an obscure rule that Swass was wrong about. Very Happy

Swass · Guest

I have no recollection of that event. Laughing

Actually, I do...and I was right!

criminally_minded, I think it's the "It has got" that sounds redneck. I still don't see that it's actually incorrect though.

Swass, I remember some edited posts in that thread also. Laughing

criminally_minded,

"Is the dishwasher done?"
"Yes, it is" or "Yes"

"It has finished" or "It's Finished" is a rednecks way of using complex vernacular.

Swass, You obvioulsy haven't seen the "aint skeered" stickers cause I think you would probably blow a gasket judging from how angry you are over a ' that shouldn't be there

"It's got a hemi"

I think this phrase was specifically designed for people that think Sprite is "Coke".

re re · Addict Joined: 02 Jul 2004 Posts: 723

Which large die cut sticker commonly found on the back of pickup trucks is more redneck?

A) "Redneck"
B) "Git r done!"
C) "Aint Skeered"

Personally, I go with (B).

"It's" isnt a contraction for "it has". Its for "it is" exclusively.

Other-wisely itd would say "it's a hemi." Confused

here in az, and im sure in so cal{mainly in the scene of Dune riders} we have big stickers that read

"Blo me"

with a line over the 'O'

not as gramatically incorrect, but im sure it would rile swass up.

I don't know. I give up. I submit to higher gramatical powers.

criminally_minded, in your first post the second option is a contraction of "it is", meaning "it is finished". Still not perfectly correct I think but what do I know... swass?

Ok, what about "It's got to work", as a contraction of "It has got to work".

I guess I don't give up after all Very Happy

ballywho · Wakeboarder.Commie Joined: 05 Feb 2005 Posts: 1725

Just because it's common (it is Wink

) doesn't mean it's (once again, it is) correct. That is the vernacular.
