I am kind and patient . I will kindly and patiently say to someone:

"Its" is a possessive pronoun; "it's" is a contraction

until the cows come home if it'll get the message across.

You're a wise person; you know what your shortcomings as a writer are and you get your work checked because of that. The people I have the issues with are those who have failings of grammar and spelling and don't get their stuff corrected before releasing it.
