Commas people, we have them for a reason!
Commas. The comma possesses nothing so why the apostrophe?
The comma possesses my love and admiration, and the apostrophe deserves love too.
Oh okay. Cool
I enjoyed all of that, so maybe I just like braindead bullshit.

It annoys me so much that the "proper" way to do possessive it is "its" instead of "it's".
Of the two versions it makes sense that the one that is combining two words into a contraction takes the apostrophe. Makes sense to me anyway, it's how I remember.
I see no reason why contractions should get dibs on apostrophes.
Contractions are obviously supreme over possessives. Do your own research.
Homonyms are where two words are spelled the same, yet carry different meanings. Both the possessive and contractive forms of "it's" are now homonyms. I have spoken.
Agreed. The possessive and contractions should be homonyms, both carrying the apostrophe. "Its" would be the nonsensical plural form of an inherently singular word: "This "it", that "it", and those "its" over there...".
The good news is that all words are made up. We can, indeed, use the same "it's" for both the possessive form of "it" and the contraction of "it is".
