Grammar corrections in User guide FAQ (matplotlib#30665)
* Grammar corrections - Use "its" (the possessive form of "it") instead of "it's" (the contraction of "it is"). - Change plurality of verb to match compound subject joined by "or". The verb should agree with the part of the subject closest to it. See https://editorsmanual.com/articles/compound-subject-singular-or-plural/. * Grammar changes in FAQ Restructure sentence to avoid subject/pronoun/verb disagreement. * Update doc/users/faq.rst Co-authored-by: Elliott Sales de Andrade <quantum.analyst@gmail.com> --------- Co-authored-by: Tim Hoffmann <2836374+timhoffm@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Elliott Sales de Andrade <quantum.analyst@gmail.com>

We've decided not to include this as a figure method because this is only one
