Comment (by umesh.nevase):

 @helen

 I was unclear about apostrophe for words ends with s.

 The screenshots in other boxes are of larger viewports and only for
 'Better Passwords' box it is of narrow viewports. I think we should
 display all screenshots of larger viewports or of narrow viewports.

 > 1. An extra `s` after an apostrophe is not required on words that end
 with `s` - as far as I've ever learned, there are no real rules around
 this. However, because in speaking I imagine most people would pronounce
 the extra syllable (as in "WordPress-es"), we should probably use
 `WordPress's` in the future. I'm not sure it's worth fixing this for point
 releases, though.
 > 2. The screenshot is accurate for narrow viewports, and I think looks
 better in the limited space that's there so you see more of what's really
 relevant.
