Stupid reader tricks

This little gem showed up in inbox this morning. A missive from a reader, who decided to CC: my boss as well.

You used the wrong word in your "IDIot" article word today:

Second paragraph: ". . .and it's drag and drop-ready." The "it's" should be "its". As much as it's used these days by so many sloppy spellers, who were poorly educated or who simply don't care, "It's" is NEVER possessive. "It's" is ALWAYS a contraction for "It is".

As the senior editor, you need to set a good example.

'nuff said.

It's true, we are ("IDIot") what we read....

Oh, forgive me, "it's" is NEVER possessive...
