"Its" has an apostrophe where it shouldn't, throughout the documentation
------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: VELOCITY-431
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-431
     Project: Velocity
        Type: Task
  Components: Documentation  
    Versions: 1.4    
 Environment: n/a
    Reporter: Carl Manaster
    Priority: Trivial


I don't pretend this is a big deal, but I notice it and it interrupts my reading flow \
so I thought I'd point it out.  The possesive form of "its" - that is, when the word \
is used to mean, "belonging to it," does not take an apostrophe.  The only time it is \
appropriate to include an apostrophe in the word "its" is when the word is a \
contraction of "it is".  I would be happier with the document if its usage of the \
word were correct.  Thank you.
