Just for the avoidance of doubt, “its” is correct, as in ‘the cow stuck its head up its arse’.

Yes it is possessive but does not apply with ‘it’, to avoid confusion with ‘it is’. I didn’t make the rules, sorry!

Can we rename this thread

Careful what you wish for, this definitely has the potential to turn into an awful thread

They’re not winning.

That girl with all her straws? Not winning.

as long as people agree with her and she is enjoying her life she is sort of winning though
