...and the belief some seem to hold that the poor apostrophe is a
character used to warn the reader that he's about to observe the
letter "s" at the end of a word.
Here's a cute little quotation I came across a few years ago:
It's is not, it isn't ain't, and it's it's, not its, if you mean it
is. If you don't, it's its. Then too, it's hers. It isn't her's. It
isn't our's either. It's ours, and likewise yours and theirs.
