' Wrote:I love asymmetry as well.
I believe you meant its and not it's, grammar National Socialist. :lol:
You're wrong.
It's=a contraction of it and is.
if you were to use "it's" in that sentence, it would sound basically like this
Quote:The word is "symmetry", and it is opposite is "asymmetry".
...
</grammar National Socialist>
"Its", alone, without the apostrophe, is the possessive form of the word, and is used in that meaning.

Precisely why I said he meant to use its and not it's.

Quite. "its" was what I had intended.
The word is "symmetry", and its opposite is "asymmetry".
The second clause says that the opposite of "symmetry" is "asymmetry".
Alternatively, I could have said the following:
The word is "symmetry", and it's opposite of "asymmetry".
This would make the second clause say that "asymmetry" was the opposite of "symmetry". However, it is considerably less elegant when phrased this way.

odin, pregnant asymmetrical woman with a big gun strapped to her hip.
its, it's, its', i'ts, 'its' and all other variations are now banished to the corner with all the other grocers' apostrophes.

AOM (the ship designer) put the tube there as a "powerchannel" that connects the powercore to the mini/torp slot.
