Proposing to change the spelling of "how-to's"

[marton bognar]

In English grammar apostrophes should not be used to make regular nouns plural ​(Rule 2b.). In the current documentation (at least in some places, including the default screen for new Django installations) the word is written as "how-to's" instead of the form "how-tos". One could argue whether "how-to" is a regular noun, but I think in this case more confusion can stem from the usage of the first form than the second.

I will gladly create a PR for this issue if you agree with me, but I'm not sure whether the locale message id (msgid "Topics, references, & how-to's") should be changed as well or preserved in the current form for possible legacy reasons.

Another solution to reduce ambiguity could be to use the term "how-to guides", as it is used in other places in the documentation.

Thanks for the proposal, but I think it's fine as is. ​Both forms are acceptable and changing it at this point will cause extra work for documentation translators.
