Unfortunately once people reach a certain age, if they've not properly assimilated correct use of possessive apostrophes, it's very unlikely that they ever will. It is an anomaly that "its" doesn't take any kind of apostrophe, along with "yours" and "mine", as opposed to "the dog's", "James's" etc. Ah grammar, how I love thee.
'Would of' drives me crackers; yesterday there was a thread in which someone corrected this in another's post. The OP wigged out about how she did know the correct form really, but continued to use 'should of' and 'could of' throughout her comments.
