No, you are all wrong.

 

The apostrophe (') is also to indicate ownership in English, BUT not for the word "it". There is always an exception in English grammer rules, and "it" is it in this case.

 

Example:

Alex's cat licked its paws.

 

This is correct, meaning the community being nothing without it's members, is not.

 

 

"There is no apostrophe, by analogy with his/hers/yours/etc. and to distinguish the pronoun from the contraction it's."

 

 

From http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/its#Etymology

 

 

It's a jar with a lid. Here is its lid.

 

And as much as I want to earn my first nugget, don't, for I am right... this time! ;)

Nope. When you say ""It's a jar with a lid. Here is its lid."" you add the appostrophy into the second its, making it's. As the lid belongs to the jar. IDK where you learnt that about not adding the ' but ... you do.

 

p.s. never always go by wikipedia or wikitionary ... I could edit it to what I think right now ... or remove it all ...
