Nope. Look closer. The Family Truckster is a modified Ford LTD wagon, or it's Mercury equivalent.
You're obviously not the apostrophe nazi.
While I intended it to be a possessive apostrophe (with 'it' referring to Ford and Ford's ownership of Mercury) I did indeed boff it.
Originally posted by wikipedia: No apostrophe is used in the following possessive pronouns and adjectives: yours, his, hers, ours, its, theirs, and whose. (Very many people wrongly use it's for the possessive of it; but authorities are unanimous that it's can only properly be a contraction of it is or it has.) All other possessive pronouns ending in s do take an apostrophe: one's; everyone's; somebody's, nobody else's, etc. With plural forms, the apostrophe follows the s, as with nouns: the others' husbands (but compare They all looked at each other's husbands, in which both each and other are singular).
And so I did indeed misuse it. I've been schooled!
Ooooh, but I'll be watching you PurpleMystique! Rest assured, I'll be watching.
