It really does bother me actually it's really annoying when people put its instead of it's etc, but the spell checker puts the apostrophes in the wrong places too!

It's = it has, it is its = every dog has its day

Yes you are correct.

Apostrophes are not hard to use if you know what you want to say/write.
They always join two words into one.

It's = It is
Its = belonging to. This is the possesive!

You were right in the second one, but not so in the first one.

To read a paper where apostrophes are used incorrectly is not annoying but confusing since one has to figure out what the person really meant. Reading the sentence a second time will help finding out the real meaning. Not big deal!

You're kidding, right?
I ask because you used an apostrophe in the word "does." There is no apostrophe in that word.
