As a rule of thumb, keep the "this" vs "that" consistent throughout a sentence; this and that aren't the same things.</p>

Very carefully! <span class="_3pp">It</span> will usually speak as if <span class="_3pp">it</span> is not <span class="one">onesself</span>, such as in third person. <span class="one">This one</span> will refer to <span class="_3pp">itself</span> as <span class="_3pp">it</span> has in this entire page. Sometimes, <span class="_3pp">it</span> will do some creative things to English to ensure the point gets across, such as stripping beginning pronouns ("I went to the..." becomes "went to the"), or either collectivizing or personalizing pronouns that might not otherwise need special treatment

<h2>bonus 2: <span class="_3pp">its</span> or <span class="_3pp">it's</span>?</h2>
<p>
The word "<span class="_3pp">its</span>" is possessive. This website contains <span class="_3pp">its</span> pronouns.<br />
<br />
The word "<span class="_3pp">it's</span>" is a contraction of "<span class="_3pp">it</span> is". <span class="_3pp">It's</span> going to visit a new universe.
