    Default *Text fix for spelling errors, inconsistencies, and general grammar nazi stuff*

    I haven't seen much talk about it so it's probably not that big of a deal for most people, but the quality of the text in SS isn't very good. This is incredibly unfortunate as SS is such a good mod that I consider this to be the real game now. It's understandable, considering the mod developers have bigger things to tackle right now as it's still in development. They probably don't have the time to go back and polish small things like comma usage, but I demand at least a certain level of polish, at least with what I'm reading, so I went through the text folder for hours (and hours and hours... ugh) and fixed everything (i hope) that really bothered me. Nothing is changed gameplay-wise, it's really just a refinement mod.

    Summary of changes:
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    added, moved, and deleted hundreds of commas, as SS's abuse of commas is quite brutal.
    Same issue with capitalization.
    moved +/- in traits and ancilliaries to the left side of the text to provide consistency w/ vanilla
    added %'s to things like Tax Collection etc. instead of just numbers
    fixed multiple grammar mistakes (though the governer badge/ancilliaries are still a bit rough)
    fixed spacing errors
    redid intro message slightly to get rid of the supply system text. (if you're using byg's, you know what you're doing, and if you're not, you don't need to know about it)
    revisions were done not just to ancilliaries and traits, but to historical events and some buildings and a few other text files too
    etc.


    Updated to be compatible with Quark's trait mod and to fix a few errors of his. Should be compatible w/ both vanilla SS and quark's.

    Just overwrite your old text folder w/ this one. For use w/ vanilla SS without BGR, though all the BGRII traits are fixed just in case you use it, you just won't have the intro message about how it works when you start your campaign. I'm sure I missed plenty of errors in here, but it should be enough to where if you're like me and love poring over the text while playing the game, you won't be distracted by the quality. I'm not a modder or anything, but I figured that if this will make the game much better for me, I should share it with the TW community.

    and don't let my forum grammar scare you away, it's 3am and I know it's not as important here.
