The possessive version is "its" (no apostrophe).

Another very common misuse of words is "insure" for "ensure."

I see "their," "there" and "they're" confused constantly.

For some reason this thread reminds me of Mantle doing his imitation of how Bobby Layne (the old Detroit quarterback) got out of trouble when he used to get pulled over with his accent -

"All, awficcer - Ah'm not drunk, ah'm from Texas!"

Something about that story makes me think the Oklahoma version of that accent wasn't much different...

THE GRAMMAR LESSON continues:

Were people hanged, or were they hung?

If someone dived instead of dove, would they have diven?

You do not say someone drived, you say they drove.

People are always hanged. Of course some may be hung, but that's another subject.

When I was working at the gallows, the foreman always said that if the “client” died, he was well hung.
