[net.misc] It's its -- the last word

>From Jessica Mitford, "Poison Penmanship, The Gentle Art of Muckraking"
New York, Knopf, 1979. page 210:

"Most have trouble with "it's" and "its," so I proposed a mnemonic device:

"When is it its?  When it's not it is.  When is it it's?  When it is it is."


Hope this clarifies the matter for everybody.
