Minor nit... that's "its" not "it's".  If you can't say "it is" or "it
has" in place, then it's "its", not "it's". :)

English has some funny rules.

Most of the time, possessives are formed with apostrophe+s.  I'm not
sure, but "its" might be the only exception to the rule. So I tend to be
more forgiving when people get it wrong -- especially when English is
not their native tongue.

On the other hand, people who write "loose" when they mean "lose"
deserve our most scathing scorn.  :)
