I don't know where the apostrophe goes so I'll just put it anywhere. There is an apostrophe in that word, right?

No apostrophe. But they're cheap, so use them wherever you like.

I don't drink whilst. Is that some sort of sport drink?

Were they the "Sisters of the Typographical Error"?

Its' could possibly be the possessive form of the plural of "it", but that's "theirs". There just isn't any word spelled "its'"

Here's the answer: It's is a contraction, meaning a shorter or "contracted" form of "it is" or "it has." (Example: It's going to rain.) Its is a possessive pronoun meaning, "belonging to it," or a "quality of it" (Example: The carrier lost its license) or (Example: Its color is red.)

do you pedal clockwise or anti-clockwise, and on which side of the lane?
