(its = possessive, it's = "it is" or "it has". See for example <http://www.wikihow.com/Use-Its-and-It's>.)

| Sep 27, 2013 at 4:15 | comment | added | Debra | Some things truly are impossible, though. For example, someone has recently asked "How can I get Lotus Notes to do an autoresponse based on subject line?" Well, Notes doesn't doesn't have that feature, so it's near-impossible unless you want to write some bit of inordinately obscure code. So perhaps one could say "It's impossible", but I'd prefer "Notes doesn't have that capability, and coding to do it might well be far out of balance with the benefits you'd derive." Maybe. On the other hand, it's also obvious that sometimes someone says "impossible" in response to a solvable problem. | |

| Sep 18, 2013 at 21:08 | comment | added | Aaron Miller | I'd upvote twice if I could; "no, you can't" is bogus, while "no, you can't, because reasons" is quite useful. | |
| Sep 18, 2013 at 20:57 | comment | added | Sampo Sarrala | That is just so true. There's many answers only telling "I believe that it's impossible". Sad thing is that some of those answers are written in complete lack of knowledge and outcome for this is upvoted misinformation. | |
