What's so ing difficult about it?
Its = possession
It's = it is |

| It isn't that it's difficult. It is the fact that normally a 's is a possessive, but in this case the contraction overrides that rule. |

| I don't think he's commenting on its difficulty, rather the fact that it's the exception to the regular rules of grammar regarding possession and contraction. |

Ehh.. No big deal.
Lira pointed out time and time again how weird and confusing English grammar is. I find it a breeze compared to French or Arabic. I still have a bit of trouble with (classical) Arabic grammar and it's my mother tongue. |
