Minor nit... that's "its" not "it's". If you can't say "it is" or "it

English has some funny rules.
Most of the time, possessives are formed with apostrophe+s. I'm not
sure, but "its" might be the only exception to the rule. So I tend to be
more forgiving when people get it wrong -- especially when English is
not their native tongue.
On the other hand, people who write "loose" when they mean "lose"
deserve our most scathing scorn. :)
