Perhaps all "there's" should be changed to "there is" then?  I think
"it's" is generally acceptable, even if less so than "it is", whereas
"there's" is almost always considered to be a very informal style.

There's not much work in changing it anyways:

dale# find share/man -type f | xargs fgrep "there's" && uname -ms
share/man/man4/ipsec.4:so for the receiving kernel there's no sign of
authenticity
share/man/man4/man4.vax/dn.4:The device doesn't exist, or there's no
power to it.
share/man/man9/kauth.9:there's no way to tell what structure
share/man/man9/kfilter_register.9:if there's an invalid argument, or
share/man/man9/kfilter_register.9:if there's an invalid argument, or
share/man/man9/sysmon_envsys.9:If there's some error before
registering the device, the
share/man/man9/sysmon_envsys.9:object will be freed, so there's no need to call
NetBSD i386
dale# find share/man -type f | xargs fgrep "there's" | wc -l
       7
dale# find share/man -type f | xargs fgrep "there is" | wc -l
     154
dale#

Best regards,
Constantine.
