Well I too have .02 cents worth.  Our rootsweb lists are for genealogy not
for correcting peoples spelling.  I myself consider it to be rude and a lack
of class to publicly humiliate anyone by correcting them on a list or at all
for that matter......my pencils all still have erasers.

 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.

it's used as a possessive pronoun, as the wagon train had "its" own
problems.
