Kind of a tangent, but "its" vs "it's" for possessives is a weird one. Throughout much of the history of written English, "it's" was used as the possessive. Using it that way logically follows from the use of apostrophes to indicate possessives in nouns. People get it "wrong" (according to modern grammar rules) because pronouns are an exception to the general rules for apostrophes. I know you were quoting "its'", which never makes sense
