I spotted a comment on The Register and it took me back several years (around a decade?):
Back in my day we had a thing called "alt.possessive.its.has.no.apostrophe". Kind of hard to forget when there's an entire newsfroup dedicated to it.
It's interesting to see how people seem to have moved discussions from newsgroups and IRC to forums on websites and ICQ/MSN to the currently popular Facebook and Twitter services. I wonder what will happen next.
