Log:
Avoid the use of contractions. This eliminates the "its"/"it's" problems
pointed out by Rick Robinson. Found and fixed some grammar problems
at the same time.
Note: the reason for avoiding contractions is two-fold:
1) It makes the text easier to understand for people who speak English
as a second language.
2) Expanding the contractions often reveals poorly worded passages.
