Actually, an apostrophe used like that can indicate ownership. However, since a sword, as an inanimate object, cannot possibly own its owner your correction remains valid… Unless the sword DOES own Alex!
Or, you know what, screw it. You’re right. No such thing as a possessive apostrophe in its. Only when attached to certain nouns. Still… I like to wonder if the sword owns Alex.
Perfect shot in panel 3
ummm, ewww!!!!-
If Alex*squeel at the mention of his name* dropped the sword, would it cut through his hand?
yes, yes it would.
Why did that bird thing call it evil then…?
Apparently the sword is one of the few things in dreamland that pose a threat to the dragon?
again, the it’s is a grammatical error. its wielder.
it’s is only a contraction for it is. nothing else.
@Pie: You mean the dragon? Well, clearly he was lying. Or possibly whoever wrote the tablet was
Hmm, I thought the sword was supposed to give the weilder wisdom. Alex sure isn’t getting any wisdom.
To quote Strongbad, “If its possesive, it’s “i-t-s”, and if it’s not possesive, it’s “i-t-apostrophe-s”- scallywag!
ok but why did the dragon say it was EVIL
Did you ever stop to think that the dragon was evil?
Arvamas: “Well the wisdom part doesn’t happen unitl you get to level 18.”
“I don’t get it. How does a sword give out wisdom. That doesn’t make sense.”
Well, it clearly hasn’t started yet.
Or perhaps it is gathering its strength to take on a nigh impossible challenge in the realm of wisdom-imbuement.
You heard me.
The sword is failing pretty hard at imbuing wisdom at the moment.
If the sword can cut through anything, I’d say that a nigh-invulnerable mythical beast would consider it evil.
Give it some credit, as it’s a rather demanding and difficult task. It takes time to move past a negative integer.
Nice
I’m hoping also that Alex didn’t have Wisdom down as a dump stat on his character sheet…
