You might even find one that knows the difference between "it's" and
"its".

His use of it's was correct.(Possessive)
It's you that's thick.

Except, of course that it *was* incorrect.

People often get "its"/"it's" wrong. The possessive is "its" and
"it's" is always a contraction of "it is" or "it has."

"It's" works the same way as the contractions "wheres" or "theres"
and "its" is a possessive just like "my" or "your."

their's
