What’s the world coming to? I’m definitely used to my family and friends mixing up “its” and “it’s” just as so many other Americans so. But I was just reading this article from Reuters, the highly respected news organization. The article is about the 82-year-old boxing ring at Madison Square Garden, and the author writes:
“It has begun to show it’s age. It became more difficult to maintain and set up. It was not an easy decision.”
Even Larry Fine of Reuters can’t get it right. Shame on his proofreader and editor for not catching the mistake!
