To those who care about punctuation, a sentence such as "Thank God its Friday" {without the apostrophe} rouses feelings not only of despair but of violence. The confusion of the possessive "its" {no apostrophe} with the contractive "it's" {with apostrophe} is an unequivocal signal of illiteracy and sets off a Pavlovian "kill" response in the average stickler.
