Its and it's

As reported by The Guardian, England is now 19th in the world literacy league ('England plunges in rankings for reading')

Good news for those of us who make a living from writing!

Keep recruiting teachers who can't spell, keep up the errors and typos in the newspapers, encourage kids 2 txt and read nothing but Harry Potter until they're 53! Keep kids on the computer and tell them that reading is boring! Yay! More work for us!

But that report's probably rubbish anyway, because, as everyone knows, students are passing more and more and more exams with more and more A, A* and A*&%£!?* grades, so today's kids must be WAY cleverer than those grumpy old men & women who know the difference between its and it's!
