Language changes as it's being used, that's just the way things are. Using it's instead of "it is" in any form writing used to be unacceptable, today it's practically the norm. At least where I live, and in informal contexts like a forum post.  |
However, one can certainly say that using "it's" to mean "belonging to it", as a very sizeable proportion of people here on MR do, definitely is wrong.
