What makes no sense to me is the word "its" or "it's". I never got how only when it is a contraction of "it is" should there be an apostrophe. The other use of it is possessive like "This is its only chance". If it is possessive shouldn't be put an apostrophe between the t and the s in that situation as well? Someone explain this to me!

I get a message like this. I think the grammar is incorrect. Would you like to correct this?

"I will also always love you although not near here. Sometime... Much also nice want now from you. Perhaps new little nice I now from you. But... Although you is the sooner people nice carry out my life."

This question was in the Writing section of a practice SAT from the College Board "Official SAT Book."

A_Introducing_ new ideas and replacing B_old ones_ C_is_ always a highly controversial matter, D_especially when_ there is already tension between an older and a younger generation. E_No error_

I put (C) but the answer is (E) No error. I thought that since there are two gerunds, the verb should be plural.

From http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/site...99/index.html:

GERUNDS AS SUBJECTS

A gerund is a noun that ends in -ing and that stands for an activity: running, writing, studying, working, reading, understanding. Deal with gerunds as you would other nouns.

Donating food at our church helps [not help] the needy.
Swimming and running are [not is] my favorite exercises.

However, what makes the use of gerunds in this sentence different? Is there a delineating line as to why in some cases the singular form is used and other times, plural? Thanks.

This word is a noun, and the letter P is the sixth letter. The current scrambling can be resolved if you think of including entire element being used as an inclusion.

What precisely happened to the English language? Where once grammatical form and proper construction stood, now a slang 'use written language any way you prefer' seems to dominate most written communication.

Is it just me, or are there other fine people that are frustrated by the lack of proper written language/overuse of slang?
