It's and Its



<body>
<non-looping content>

Did everybody agree to use "it's" and "its" wrong almost everytime?

Come on, people, if you cannot substitute "it is" for "it's," then the
apostrophe doesn't belong there.

For example:

        despite it's stigma as being a beat orientated machine..

Would it sound right to say:

        despite it is stigma as being a beat orientated machine..

Apparently not.

Further, this should be written thus:

        despite its stigma as being a beat-oriented machine...

Thank you.  I just had to say something about it.
