Perhaps a new standard is called for?
It's => it is
Its' => belongs to whatever "it" is.
Since "it" is always a singular, no confusion with an apostrophe after a trailing "s" implying plural.
Might be more intuitive and easier for folk to remember.
English is, after all, one of the most 'plastic' languages on Earth.
I bought a 'VEVOR' binding machine, and it works fine.
Those punch a row of rectangular holes in a sheet of paper, then open the row of plastic fingers down the entire length of a tubular binder. c c c c c c c + = = = = = =, basically.

Why not just take their V7 and run it through Claude again, declare it to be V8, and release under the original copyright?

Also, because typing instead of handwriting, cursive writing may now be older adults' secret communication method now.
"...Naked Nutrition's Vegan *Mass Gainer* powder..." Well, I guess *LEAD* has a lot of mass, so that could be a win??
"... inflating user numbers before the bank's $175 million acquisition. "
Sounds vaguely familiar.
I'd imagine a certain high-ranking government employee would look kindly on such behavior.
Perhaps enough to offer a pardon and job offer??
Life is a healthy respect for mother nature laced with greed.
