The words "ain't" is not an english term, afaik it's from Scottish, and as you know the Brits never did care for them, so their words get frowned on.

Whiskey isn't English?! Trousers isn't English?!

We've had a lot of arguements on this list about "it's" and "its". Other lists have seen arguements over "Hawaii" vs "Hawai'i".
I can easily see "its" being a typo when "it's" is meant.

As jimcbrown is all to happy to point out, i also make typos, but seldom on purpose.
Yet I have never insulted you for doing so, and only very rarely mention them when they occur.
