i'm glad this is being discussed. i felt like i was among very few in how i felt about that use of its vs it's.

just say "it is" and use it's as the possessive.. like every other word in the language and stop failing people on exams

So should we use your's too? and hi's?

sure if we want to get granular, then yes "it" is a pronoun as well.. it's just not typically used when referring to a person

the irony behind my use of "it" just now though..
