Yes, my Romanian is quite dusty, ncfcog; sorry about getting a letter wrong; did it stop you from knowing to whom I referred? As is pointed out above, it's can only be employed as short for 'it is'. Its does not take an apostrophe in the possessive case. And please can the many on here who confuse loose with lose sort them out?
Shoe-in or shoo-in I believe are equally acceptable these days although I accept that shoo-in came first. Honest, you can't spit without someone telling you it's not spelled / spelt phlegm.
