Whether a word is the "right" word may depend on a contraction: "It's passed its expiration date" is correct if "it's" stands for "it has", but "It's past its expiration date" is correct if "it's" stands for "it is."

This isn't really odd but more related to dialect. For us certain words have different meaning. For example: 1. Ignorant means stupid...for us it means you get angry a lot. 2.
