I sometimes find "It" rather zoomy to use, perhaps because these lines
are often running in the background:
This is It
and I am It
and You are It
and so is That
and He is It
and She is It
and It is It
and That is That.

My first reaction was, "Well it just is what it is." Kinda Zen-like
don't
you agree? :-)
But on reflection, I think you're right. Though I have a deep
background in
HyperCard where IT originated, I suspect that IT is a source of
confusion
for lots of folks.
Accordingly, I'm embarking on writing The Complete Guide to IT. Coming
soon
a an eBook near you.

I am like most primates (!) and I learn patterns which I then

the
latest being an over-generalisation about "it".
IT would be less of a pain were IT explicitly stated as to what IT
could
be applied and what IT couldn't.
I also suspect that new users find IT extremely esoteric.
