    The "I hope I don't need a sturgeon" one was probably the best.

    "It's" is correct in that context. Why did you put [sic]? the nose belongs to "it".

    No it's not, it'd uncontract as "plug up it is nose".

    But the apostrophe notes possesion in this case not a contraction.

    As Strong Bad once said,

    "If you want it to be a possessive, it's just I-T-S, but if it's supposed to be a contraction then it's I-T-apostrophe-S.

    Scalawag."

    Well, English is my third language and even I know it's "its" when you want to indicate possession. (Yes, it's an exception to the rule etcetera and it's a common mistake, but still...)

    "It's" = short for "it is," or "it has."

    In (almost) all other contexts, use "its" without the apostrophe and you'll be in the clear.

    Should I be annoyed that I was corrected by telltale staff even though they made this exact mistake in the game? :p

    It seems to me that they are assuming and correcting their mistake in a subtle way, so we don't notice they made the mistake. :-)

    Since "it" is a pronoun and not a real noun, you can't add "-'s" to the end to make it possessive like you do with other words. I don't say "he's nose," I say "his nose," and the same applies with "it."

    "Its" is a possessive pronoun, like "his" or "your" or "my."

    Hopefully that helps you to wrap your minds around the word.

    Of course not... it'd have to be "him's nose".
