The singular third-person neutral possessive. Often confused by semi-literates with "it's," which is a contraction of "it is."

The state of being "it." The feeling of unnameable joy that accompanies a transcendent, quintessential experience.
The layered guitar picking and vocal melody of Big Star's "Thirteen" are perfect on their own, but when combined with the lyrics the song achieves something beyond perfection: a palpable itness.

A greeting, and a reply to that greeting.
Comes from 'alright'
As in 'Are you Alight?' 'Yeah, I'm alright'
Gets shortened to 'Ite?' 'Ite.'

one of many examples why the english language is a serious mess. "Its" completely inverts the common apostrophe rule, where "'s" usually is a possessive term, but here, the word without the apostrophe is the possessive term. the "'s" of this word is the abbreviated version of "it is".
it's its own fault
