That's a common spelling error, yes, but.. The number-one spelling error among today's semi-literates is writing "it's" for the third-person neuter possessive instead of "its". (These folks frequently write "her's" instead of "hers" and "who's" instead of "whose" as well, but, strangely, hardly ever write "hi's" for the masculine form.) A native English speaker's spelling of "its" is a very accurate measure of his general literacy.
