This is interesting, Ed. Getting the grammar right here is bound up with choosing the correct homophone--of a pair or greater number of words or grammatical phenomena that sound the same--or, in many cases, the right homoiophone--of a pair or greater number of words or grammatical phenomena that sound similar. In this case, a spelling mistake and a grammar mistake go hand in hand. I take it you can hear that "it's" and "its" sound the same, or are you unaware of that? With other, more complicated cases it may be more difficult for you, given that homo(io)phones are often a major problem for people with certain profiles of dyslexia. I'm genuinely interested in how much you can hear of these things given your hearing aid and perhaps other training?
