    That one is confusing sometimes. The job belongs to ‘it’, so it’s kinda looks right even though I think it isn’t. Something about the apostrophe of ownership?

      I find it easier to remember the contrary case: you only use the apostrophe when you mean to say “it is.” In this special case, you don’t have to think about possession at all.
