I love it when people are human about doing their jobs.

Hey, you!  "It's" with an apostrophe means "it is" or "it has."  "Its" without an apostrophe means "belongs to it."

I'm a little surprised that it's legal to fly a plane like that.

Me too.

Of course, there are times when it pays to be serious.

I was looking at this page (http://www.enago.com/australia/editors/?loc=topnav_1) on the pie chart below the heading "Subject Area Expertise".

While the people who created the pie chart may have come up with a useful neologism for the act of an engineer making a mistake, it's perhaps not a good advertisement for a company advertising its services in document editing.

You know, for some reason, the thing Graham has the most difficulty with in his papers is the possessive.  Don't know what that's all about.
