Pretty sure we do actually have he's and she's. "He's being an idiot", or "she's wrong about that."

  You're just proving the point: "'s" is only possessive for a noun. Your examples aren't possessives.

    Yes, I misunderstood his point entirely. On reading my response again I also realize that my examples come off as a not so subtle insult, and which is not what I meant.
• buzzy_hacker 7y ago
  Yes, but as a contraction of "he is", not as a possessive.

  Those are contractions, not possessives. "He is" and "she is", just like "it's" is always a contraction, never a possessive.

  Those are not possessives. They're contractions, like it's.
