RE: It's vs Its! What is The Correct Usage in English?

in #education6 years ago

i think since you encouraging others to be grammatically correct, it may worthwhile to proof-read your article for grammatical errors. the first line itself should have been "Since majority of Steemians spend so much time writing in English here, ... "

a) may be people making the mistake you have states aren't native english speakers.
b) may be people are lazy about putting an ' between t & s.
c) may be they don't know, in which case they will be grateful to you.

If we are going to be accurate:

i think since you encouraging others to be grammatically correct,

Should be:

i think since you ARE encouraging others to be grammatically correct,

;)

Your version:

"Since majority of Steemians spend so much time writing in English here, ... "

has a missing 'the' in it:

"Since THE majority of Steemians spend so much time writing in English here, ... "

Your choice of inserting the word 'in' is not wrong, but at the same time my choice to just say 'writing English' is not wrong either (at least to me). My version is just a bit quicker to type.

i didn't realize i was messing with a whale. and i was reading another article from you about reaching level 70 (congrats btw). and then i saw the above response from you, and was wondering why are you replying to this.. only to realize the original article was from you as well.
