Its not formally correct, but it’s understandable through other possessive rules. Like “MrscottyTay’s” or “HugeNerd’s”
The English language is more complex than just what the posh prescribed formal rules indicate. They’re guidelines rather than doctrines to live by. Even though this isn’t quite a great example of it but our language becomes a lot more playful and colourful through the breaking of such rules.
It’s an understandable mistake, but it’s also one of those things that gets drilled into you while learning English. I’m all for breaking rules in English when it’s beneficial to the tone, meaning, or something else. But it’s just a confusing error that does nothing to justify its use.
it’s means it is
It can also be a possessive for it
Just remember this handy song from Strong Bad:
Oh, if you want it be possessive, it’s just I-T-S But if it’s supposed to be a contraction, then it’s I-T-apostrophe-S…Scalawag
