Why do some people insert an apostrophe into the word "its"?

All it does is turn it into a completely different word with a completely different meaning. What do they hope to gain from it?

@FrankietheFly let me explain how this works dear...this is a PUBLIC FORUM and EVERYONE CAN ANSWER ANY WAY THEY CHOOSE! Now, you can certainly be a jerk and delete my comment or block me but that would reveal you for the bossy dude you seem to be already. Carla could have told me off...that would have made sense. I think you might be a bit too sensitive to be on the internet dear

@FrankietheFly All I know is...you don't seem to understand what a social media site is all about...you don't tell people to "not butt in"...I think you're controlling and bossy

@Carla Well, I have zero patience with people who criticize others grammar, spelling etc. It's a pet peeve of mine. I may overreact from time to time when I read words/judgments like yours. There are several reasons why people might not do these things correctly and when someone is outraged by it without knowing whether or not English is there first language or they are challenged somehow it bugs me...I don't think it's fair. Really, how does it impact YOUR life?

@Carla "What do they hope to gain from it?" Why ask that? Leave people alone....if I understand what they are saying ..in spite of things like this...that is all that matters. Sorry, you seem like a decent person...I just wish people would leave people alone if they are not impacting anyone else's life. I see it as petty
