Yes, but I'm not forgiving of superfluous apostrophes in the word "its". The sentence gets a Fail. "It's" means "it is" and nothing else.Ah but if you're going to be all finicky about it, "it's" can actually mean "it is" or "it has"...
You're right about that, and I missed it. It's been so long since I used "it's" to mean anything other than "it is" that I forgot about that. 🙂
Hmmmm. I hadn't noticed that error the other day when the QOD was published. I didn't retain a copy of the original text submitted a couple of months ago, so now I'm curious as to whether its extraneous apostophe is my error or it's something that was introduced by SSC in the editing process. I hope that last sentence demonstrates that I do understand the difference between "it's" and "its".
Meanwhile, was the parsing exercise valuable to you? Did you learn something?
