The Duff CEO with a Windows-Logo on his forehead: “Gamers use Windows because of its’ user experience not our de facto monopoly.”

Edit: Yo, I’m not saying this is gonna happen. I just want to say that Windew’s UX sucks ass.

        “it’s” always means either “it is” or “it has”.

        “its” implies possession.

        In general, apostrophe is used for:

        1. Contractions (don’t, won’t, she’s)
        2. Possession (John’s book, the dog’s bone)
        3. Plural possession (dogs’ bones, teachers’ lounge)

        Never use apostrophes for regular plurals (he has so many pencil’s)

        Unfortunately, the rules for apostrophes in English are made up for each individual word. Lots of native speakers get it wrong, and I don’t know how non-native speakers could possibly keep it all straight.

        That I believe is only for plurals, such as:

        (one) cat’s paw vs (multiple) cats’ paws

        It, however, is not a plural, otherwise it would be “they”. Though I must admit I’ve probably made the same mistake myself.
