Description
> It's doublespeak, a reinterpretation and recast of original intent and meaning.
Both are legitimate grammatically.
- **It's** doublespeak to the highest degree, it's perfect propaganda.
- Why India needs to end **its** doublespeak on the Syrian conflict
Until such time that patterns are found in surrounding context to disambiguate the intention, it's safest to never flag "it's doublespeak". In fact it's probably the more common of the two

Research direction
Start by reproducing the report with the quoted examples, including both “It's doublespeak” and “its doublespeak,” and inspect the grammar-checking rule that flags the first phrase. Done means legitimate uses of “It's doublespeak” are no longer incorrectly flagged while the intended correction remains covered where context supports it.
