[NTLK] The "Greengrocers' Apostrophe"

>I won't even begin with the apostrophe! ("Soda's for sale...")

"It's" as a possessive instead of a contraction (as well as "iPod's
for Sale," "Open on Sunday's," etc.) drives me crazy! And while I'm
ranting, why can't we have a president who can pronounce "nuclear."
