Specifically, "it's" and "its." There's a difference! "It's" really means "it is," but you know how it is when people talk and talk, and go faster and faster; eventually a tiny little syllable gets gobbled up, and "it is" becomes "it's." Abbreviated.
"Its" is an entirely different matter. It's (note that!) a dignified, respectable word, a propertied word, denoting possession. For instance, you might say "Lace has its charms." "Lacemaking has its devotees." No abbreviations for this sturdy little word!
