Idiot language pedant? I mean, the difference between it's/its is just a matter of basic grammar. We're not talking here about some obscure feature of the English language. And to be honest, the "fuck off" part was kind of off-key, if you ask me.

It doesn't matter how common it is. You've missed the point completely. The fact it's so common yet people constantly get it mixed up is just more evidence that it's a bad part of the writing system.
