Apostrophe'''''s, when did the rot set in?

Second one is correct.
The apostrophe shows possession, except in the word its, when it is used to show contraction (If I have used my terms correctly! )

Yes "it's" is a shortened form of "it is" so "its" (possessive) is correct. There are many instances of this common error highlighted in this thread.

Indeed, possessive pronouns (his hers ours yours theirs) don't take the apostrophe...

apart from "one's", that does. Work that one out.

I,ll be pondering the spec of my pending Macan until it's build date middle of 2017, the demo I have at present has a Bose, but as in my 991 I,m not particularly impressed with sound in either to be honest, but I,ve not heard the standard hifi yet. Is it really that bad I need the Bose as a minimum? Has anyone had any aftermarket enhancements done to the sound system?

It's a big forum and I can't check every single thread. Personally, as it's a current national topic right now I thought it deserve it's own thread.

Traditional IT companies will sell you a support package that covers your desktop and laptop computers, your servers and your network infrastructure. Is that helping your business to increase it’s profit and provide you with a better standard of living?

I don't know anyone who has one who hasn't replaced there's AT LEAST ONCE. Only last weekend one of my mates (who's on his 3rd unit, 2 x Gen 1, 1 x Gen 2) who's battery drained and they said to send it back, so that'll be his 4th unit. I think he's being far too patient ...

Seems they have found a new way of taxing the motorist while " saving live"s " I think there would be a huge backlash if they went in hard
but yes I'm sure as you say it will soon be as expensive to drive a diesel car as a petrol !!!!!

So to be clear racism in nearly all it's overt form is allowed to flourish in NPE but someone saying they like a number plate results in that???

If a car is registered before it's third birthday from date of manufacture then it gets the current plate. If registered after it's 3rd birthday then it will be assigned a plate in relation to it's build date.

However. There is the old one that slips through the net.
