The changes look good except that its should be either it is or it's
it would probably be better to use it is rather than the contraction
it's.
*No!* Once again, in "for its leading open source office suite" the
"its" is a possessive pronoun, spelled without an apostrophe (cf. his,
not *hi's!), and does not stand for "it is".
I've replaced the problematic word with "the". If this st also not
correct, then the blog post could be edited after it was published.
I am putting on my native English speaker hat, to make up for my
regrettable lack of any skill in German.
"Its" is the possessive form of "It". "It's" is the contraction for "It is".
