But it's is always short for it is
Its meaning 'belonging to it' has no apostrophe. It is a possessive pronoun like his.
One of mine (most of the others have been mentioned)
is 'here here' instead of hear hear. I always want to post where? where?

I believe the verb 'to loose' means something like to shoot an arrow, but I'm probably wrong. One second.
*looks in dictionary*
yeah, it means to let something loose, particularly in the sense of an arrow or a bullet...quite ambiguous.

And while we're at it. How about Iraq & I-rarq
