Git commit 22a50de13318829025ab752542be67d40511ad02 by Wolthera van Hövell tot \
Westerflier, on behalf of RJ Quiralta. Committed on 08/06/2018 at 21:15.
Pushed by woltherav into branch 'master'.

KritaFAQ cosmetic fixes.

This is a set of cosmetic fixes (typos, standardization, punctuation, etc.)
found while doing the translation. Note that the changes should not present a content
change on its own, some parts of the sentences that where altered are
simply rephrased, but translations on the works (Chinese/Spanish)
should have no problems as the interpretation still will be the same.
