Jacob's a good writer, and I'm not surprised that Django is so well-documented. I just have one small quibble with this piece:
> You need to understand the difference between "its" and "it’s";
If the problem is that people conflate "its" and "it's", the solution is not to keep placing them side-by-side.
What got me to stop mistaking the one for the other was to understand "its" not in opposition to "it's", but as part of the set of possessive pronouns: "my", "your", "his", "her", "its", "their". Note that none of these pronouns have an apostrophe.
