"It's" stands for "it is" (or "it has"). The apostrophe is not used
for a possessive (like her, his, whose, their, and its). Note that I didn't check for proper use of "its" (when it should be "it is" or "it has" instead). I also saw over 15 other grammar or punctuation problems, but not fixed in this commit.
