Description

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 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.
