My issue with it is that I (as was mentioned above) get too fast with the fingers and it is just a small passing thought in the meaning of the sentence. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it! |

The problem a lot have with 'its' and 'it's' is they are usesd to thinking of 's at the end signifying possession. With its and it's it is just the opposite.
As for there and their, I always point out to my students that 'here' is part of where and there, so all signify place. That took care of the where, were problem, too. Well, I at least tried to take care of the problem, they didn't always listen. |

It's an unfortunate "coincidence" that "it's" is a common contraction in English. Were it not so, the fact that no possessive pronoun has an apostrophe would probably mean that people would be no more tempted to put an apostrophe in the word "its" than they would in the related word "his".
