How come when a guy writes its when he really means it’s it gets blamed on his high school English teacher, even if the guy dropped out in 1974? As though he hasn’t encountered 38,263 uses of it’s/its in in the intervening  years and couldn’t once have said, “Eh, that’s weird. Two different its. Wonder what the difference is.” Nobody looks at an old, fat guy and thinks, “Man, his gym teacher should have done a better job. Back in my day….”

(Yeah, I’ve been reading the Columbia Tribune comments section again.)
