Quick-Grammar experts-I need help with holiday card
is this correct:
May the meaning of the season be deeper, its friendships stronger and it's hopes brighter!
i am concerned about the "its".

Re: Quick-Grammer experts-I need help with holiday card
I think it would be "its' " because it's = it is and if you replace the " it's" with the it is.....just doesn't sound right.
But I could be wrong, I'm no expert
but I love what you came up with!

it's = it is
i think the correct way is "its" (w/out the apostrophe)

Re: Quick-Grammer experts-I need help with holiday card
I think all the its/it's should be its'
since they're possessive as the season's friendships and hopes

Re: Quick-Grammar experts-I need help with holiday card
When "it" is possessive, there is no apostrophe. The apostrophe is only used to shorten "it is".

It's used incorrectly so often, most people don't notice, though.
