It's VS Its


Well, I'm happy to see that I'm not the only one who has occasional troubles with remembering the possessive versus contraction rules governing the use of an apostrophe and the word "It".

(For the record, "it's" is a contraction [which makes perfect sense!], while "its" is possessive [and does not make sense!]. Also, this is the exact opposite as it was explained to me by an English major and "professional" writer, so I feel somewhat vindicated in my confusion.... Unless this site is wrong and confused as well!)
