    Yes, thousands of years of established language development is wrong … not the individual who is unable to learn what millions of others have been able to.

      Yes, it is. Island has an ‘s’ in it as a stylistic choice to Latinize a word that has no Latin root. Literally is now defined as “not literally” which is absurd. That’s established language development.

      If people keep using “it’s” as possessive then it will become possessive, and nothing will be lost.
