Janet has it right. People need to be less testy, aggrieved, and
defensive. No one intends to misspell or misspeak or miswrrite. That's why
they're called accidents.

just as "hers" and "his" have no apostrophe, "its" has no apostrophe if
it's used as a possessive pronoun, as the wagon train had "its" own
problems.
