```{note}

Note the exception to this rule: the word **it**, which does not use an apostrophe for its possessive, for example: "Our competitor had all its clients' websites hacked." Agaric avoids contractions so we do not ever use **it's** but rather **it is**.

```
|

|

Apostrophes can also be used to denote that you have dropped some letters from a word, usually to match spoken language— an unofficial contraction. This is fine when quoting or paraphrasing and giving the feel of a statement is important, but do it sparingly.
