I so want to ask why Nelson feels the need to claim ownership of a stupid brass door knocker.
The door knocker should read Nelson or maybe even The Nelsons. No apostrophe!
Feels so good to get this off my chest.
This is my pet peeve. I want to ask, "The Nelson's what?"
house?
maybe the door knocker should say "mine"
Or "Ours"?
Our's.

I did not know this one. Thanks.
I don't this poster is right. It's chomping at the bit. Horses chomp on the bit when they are impatient and that's where this expression comes from. I grew up owning and raising horses so I know they chomp on the bit.

Depends if you're the object or subject of sentence.
I meant subject. It is "DH and I disagree," not "me and DH disagree."

It's = it is
Contraction
its is possessive.
Its doorknocker is marked with an error. (referencing the house above.

That always makes me smile, because sometimes the purposes actually are intensive, and sometimes they aren't.
