Don’t use it’s as a possessive. Don’t like participles dangle. Don’t write words with numb3rs (unless you’re seven!).
These are some of the useful tips Weird Al offers in his new music video about grammar: Word Crimes. It’s based off Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke, but it’s much more clever than its inspiration (see how I used it’s and its in the proper way there?)
Anyway, here’s a bit of fun for your day. Enjoy.
