Constitutional Trivia: Grammar and the US Constitution

“Giving comfort to grammar errants [BTW, this may not be a word…] everywhere, the official copy of the Constitution contains an incorrect word—Article 1, Section 10 uses “it’s” when it should be “its,” even in 18th-century usage. However, the word “chuse” as used in the Constitution was acceptable at the time. So was the alternative spelling of Pennsylvania, Pensylvania; the Constitution actually uses both spellings.”
