"Five items or less".................... arrghhh

Countable nouns. Fewer. FEWER. F-E-W-E-R.

Ahh that's better.

Folk who keep loosing things
Archers loose arrows.
Everyone else keeps losing things.

cats

[Ashmore]

Yes, cats. Awful creatures. Also people who say 'pacific' instead of 'specific', all 'national treasures' but especially Stephen Fry, taxes, and politicians - especially the Tory ones.

[Marco]

Yes, cats. Awful creatures.

Bah - cats rool!! I love their 'fuck you' attitude and fierce independence. Clearly Stuart and you prefer something more subservient and easily manipulated

Marco.

[Ashmore]

Ha, ghastly schizophrenic fleabags that shit everywhere

[walpurgis]

I like cats.

My old 'Boy' was brilliant. So friendly, still miss the poor old sod after four years gone. Biggest cat I've ever seen, four feet long from tips of paws to tip of tail stretched out on the sofa.

[shane]

Its not it's, its its!

(sorry Shane, couldn't resist that one)

Awww sod it. I knew that.

[The Grand Wazoo]

It's not that its at all, it's it's!

Surely it's is correct - the apostrophe denotes the missing letter i as in it is

From The Apostrophe Appreciation Society Website

The rules concerning the use of apostrophes in written English are very simple:

1. They are used to denote a missing letter or letters, for example:

I can't instead of I cannot
I don't instead of I do not
it's instead of it is or it has

Actually, I think you can argue both cases, but 'its' is the posessive, as in belonging to or of and 'it's' is a contraction, the apostrophe indicates missing letters as in 'it has' and 'it is' according to the online Collins Dictionary, but I think common usage comes into play to an extent (and you can spell usage and useage both ways I believe). So it could be I was wrong, or it could still be Shane was wrong. Never mind, as long as we get our point across it matters little.
