Is it "its" or "it's"? I have seen "its" used in literature, but MS Word doesn't like using "its". I seem to remember sometime in elementary school learning that it was correct grammar to use "its". This is bothering me.

It's = it is
Its = "it" posseses something
E.g. - The dog played happily, although its chew toy was nothing but shreds.
Or something. I'm pretty sure I'm right.

widow is feminine,
add the suffix "er" to is, you have
widower, which is masculine.

widow/widower

I was inferring that EA is better than google at answering questions. I didn't actually put it in google, though. I am just assuming that google would have sucked for that question. Ooh did I mention that as of about an hour ago I am on summer vacation? No, I didn't. Well, I am. But it's (already using the correct form) gonna be a vacation consisting of 40 hour/week at work. Oh well, I enjoy both jobs.

"zzzzzz" - it means sleep, and is usually followed by ". . ."

Dren - haven't talked to Andrea yet about Thai. I think she will probably say something like "I don't know, I will have to see what I am doing." But, I will do my best. I'll ask her tonight.

aaah...now i see...
and, not that anyone cares, but the word is zenzizenzizenzic
zenzizenzizenzic-the eighth power of a number
|

muhgcee

|
What's the point in having a word for that?
|
| 5/20/2003
>>
ralph
|
|
are you telling me that you don't use this word on a daily basis?
|
| 5/20/2003
>>

|
|
"x to the 8th" works better than "the zenzizenzizenzic power of x"
