Finally! Autumn sets in!
After a monsoon, an overdue stay from summer and abnormal levels of humidity, fall is finally here! It is during this season that W&M is at its aesthetic peak – people literally travel from across the nation to see our school during this time. Yeah, it’s that beautiful. The temperature is starting to drop, making the days cool and crisp. I am so relieved – I literally have been wearing shorts and t-shirts to class everyday because it has been so freakishly warm out! I can’t stop the urge to walk around campus and just take in the sights. Does that make me a loser? Probably, but I accepted that fact long long ago. My favorite time to be at W&M is finally here, and I can’t wait to enjoy autumn after fall break.

Excuse us, its’?
I know I’m supposed to focus on content, but WM is a premiere institution and this glares at me from the homepage! Is it there forever or can you do a quick edit?
You know its/it’s is the number one mistake in writing. You’re not the first one (or your editor, maybe it wasn’t you)to launch the third possibility, its’; however, there is no such construction as its’.
You can use the possessive pronoun its showing that something belongs to it–its own name, its last date, its mom–or you can contract it is, it’s, to show that something is, it’s a good day, it’s a long, long way, it’s a common mistake.
Thank you,
