ChatGPT got it...

> This sentence is a play on words, using the homophones "it's" and "its" in different ways to create a pun. The first half of the sentence is using the phrase "it's not it is" as a way to say that something is not true, while the second half is using the phrase "it is its" as a way to say that something belongs to itself. The second sentence is in similar way "it's it's" meaning " it is its" and "it is it's" meaning "it's is it"


And according to Shakespeare:

That he's mad, 'tis true, 'tis true 'tis pity, And pity 'tis, 'tis true


It's the best comment of the day :)

Tis confusing.


The headline would have worked better without the "it's" at all, and "off" for that matter.


*fewer


It's not complicated


Done.
