^
That's the contraction meaning "it is" or "it has". What you wanted
was the possessive pronoun "its" (compare "his", "whose").
Misapostrophisation is almost completely incapable of causing real
ambiguity, so I'm only calling it wishlist. You might even argue
that it's a valuable hint to alert readers of the limitations of
"spellchecking" software...

The Aspell library contains an interface allowing other programs direct
-access to it's functions and therefore reducing the complex task of
+access to its functions and therefore reducing the complex task of
spell checking to simple library calls. The default library does not
contain dictionary word lists. To add language dictionaries, please
check your distro first for modified dictionaries, otherwise look here
