its true plus hes been to the saab racing academy thats a racing and handling course for 2 days and hes going to the BMW M-series academy i think in North carolina(i think) for 3 days and 3 nights of pure racing and the best thing is that im going w/ him to learn everything. Cuz i can race good but u can always get beter. I have a better time on a 1/4 in my brothers jetta than him. proven he got a 13.9 and i got a 13.7 so im better at drag racing but in habdling he will destroy me and drive circles around just for fun.

The word is supposedly. Not "supposively" - that's not even a word.
Again - so sorry, but we all have our obsessions - this particular word and it's misuse bugs me to no end.
No offense intended.

From the Purdue University Online Writing Lab
Don't use apostrophes for possessive pronouns or for noun plurals.
Apostrophes should not be used with possessive pronouns because possessive pronouns already show possession -- they don't need an apostrophe. His, her, its, my, yours, ours are all possessive pronouns. Here are some examples:
wrong: The group made it's decision.
correct: The group made its decision.
(Note: Its and it's are not the same thing. It's is a contraction for "it is" and its is a possesive pronoun meaning "belonging to it." It's raining out= it is raining out.)

But remember, "it's" doesn't need an apostrophe unless it's used as "it is".

Touche, senor!
I'm usually pretty damn good with my grammar and spelling - looks like I either let one slip by or I truly didn't know any better. I choose the former - it makes me look better.
Either way - point taken.
Good job!
