Well spotted. "Who's" can be the contraction for "who has" in conversation, as in: "Who's got my hat?"

Of course, it isn't used in non-verbal text unless the writer is deliberately writing as one would speak.

Should that be "whose" or "who's?"
It seems to me that it would be "who's," but you say that "who's" always means "who is."

And one of these days I am going to put up a whole lot of links myself. I just hate messing around with stuff like that…but one day, I promise.

Who/whom is one of my weaknesses and I’m so glad to hear it’s out-dated.

Jewel, I AWLAYS have more than one project going! Although I concentrate on the one I have a deadline for…

There is one golden rule in this business: do what works best for you.

This question has nothing to do with this post but I was wondering is it normal to have more than one project going at once? And is it ok?
