Hmmm.  Make that: 'proper', will you?

Agreed.  But with the current standards of literacy in British schools,
what do you expect?  Kids are forced to read Microsoft capitalization on
every screen (You Know, Where Every Freaking Word Is Capitalized);
failing that, their friends' abysmal texting style.

The consistent mis-spelling of 'its' as 'it's' where the genitive case
is intended is so overwhelming as to be almost standard practice.
('Should of' and 'definately' are two others which most teachers can no
longer be bothered to flag as appalling errors, either.)
