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.
