I made only two real additions, if I recall correctly:

  1. Introduction - added Ogg Vorbis format to sound component blurb.
  2. Scene-Editing - Added new "Viewport Navigation" header at the very top.

The majority of the fixes were for swapped singular/plural forms. Lots of instances of "its" being swapped with "their", "has" with "have", "is" with "are", etc, plus many swapped forms of verbs.

Acronym Plurals - In several cases, you made the plural of an acronym with a colon (and an 's'). I'm not sure where this comes from, I've never seen it done before. Sometimes people use an apostrophe, but most guides I've seen agree that the correct form is with no punctuation, only the 's', such as "APIs", "GUIs", and "IAPs". The apostrophe is reserved, as usual, for the possessive. "The API's methods", "Your GUI's nodes", etc. So I removed the colons where I saw them. They weren't always used. I did not remove the colons from "id:s"—that's a whole other can of worms.

In the process of doing this I came across a few areas that I think could use more extensive work, but I will report those on the website or make other pull requests for them.
