Unfortunately, it overlooks the example at hand: it’s.

Pronoun. I hope this is clear. There’ll be a quiz eftsoon.

Thank you. By the way, in your first sentence, "In 2004 Google announced it’s book digitizing project," the "it's" should probably be "its." Sorry for pointing that out, but I thought you should know. I work as a technical writer, but I am available for freelance proofreading! Grin. Great article as usual, Anne. Thank you.
