It’s or its…

I find it amazing that some people who should know better type “it’s” when it should be “its”!

“It’s” is shortened for It is… like ‘I think it’s worthwhile’ which is ‘I think it is worthwhile’.

“Its” is a belonging word… it connects with the word previously mentioned like ‘The guy described his organisation and its aims’.

Oh hum…
