Hire a copyeditor, please
CBS News: "Michael Brown, who recently resigned as the head of the FEMA, has been rehired by the agency as a consultant to evaluate it's response following Hurricane Katrina."
"the FEMA"?
"it's response"? Please, use the correct part of speech. "It's" is a contraction of "it is." The correct word here is "its," no apostrophe, which is the possessive of "it." "It's" and "its" are, in fact different words with different meanings. [pet peeve]
Let it be said that I'm in a pissy, persnickety mood for reasons unrelated to the copywriting skills of the CBSnews.com interns. Apologies, but still--it's never a good time for bad grammar.
