Never take analysis from an economist who never bothered to learn the difference between it's and possessive its, a subject a lot less complex than the interplay between global monetary supplies.

I decided to downvote your comment to oblivion with part of my voting power. I have more at my disposal if needed.
I have several reasons. (1) The
itsv.it'sgrammar rant is the most tired of all rants, grammar or otherwise. Absolutely no one who has ever corrected the usage of possessiveithas done so in a polite way and you are no exception.(2) The author used
itscorrectly more times thanit'sin the article, suggesting he doesn't need your rude correction. At worst, the isolated errors appear to be typos, and is in fact one I make myself with considerable frequency. This typo has nothing to do with not understanding the distinction between the two words and everything to do with typing as one thinks, which is the usual mode--unless one is simply transcribing, for the hundredth time, a tired rant about possessiveit.Well, ultimately, I was calling his analysis wrong, not criticizing his grammar, but feel free to conveniently ignore that part.
PS: That's not what flagging is for.
