That should help you. (They were talking about a cute, fluffy kitty.)

It's the internet… people don't use grammar here. Well I do, but I'm weird. Case and point: get over it

Keep using proper spelling and grammar, as I do, and ignore those that vex you.

Why? I forgot to make it a proper noun? You take life too seriously. Hell, you take the Internet too seriously.

Both what you said and how you said it was annoying.

Meh, I was being heavily sarcastic, but you didn't pick that up.

People have trouble with this because we're taught that an apostrophe denote ownership or a contraction. It's/its defies one of these rules, by dropping the apostrophe when denoting ownership. This is why most people improperly use it.
