Fix some typos and spelling mistakes #2

Re: The Reddit comment linked below. I've started to correct some of the typos and spelling errors in the file. I might do some more later if there's any interest.

I wonder whether there's a need to curate some of the quotes though? There's multiple languages, and lots don't seem to fit the theme of the application.

I agree. Checkout this line: Those sweet lips. My, oh my, I could kiss those lips all night long. Good things come to those who wait. The last sentence there could be inspirational. The first two are completely unrelated to the last and don't fit the inspiring/motivating/wise theme.

Ok, this is a big issue, and cannot be done manually. I've removed all lines with non-English characters using perl, any ideas how we can get rid of typos? Maybe aspell could help.

Most of the errors are punctuation errors. I can think of an idea for a python script that would go through character by character and solve that.

As for spelling errors, somebody could run a spellchecker like Grammarly through the file, or the Microsoft Word spell check.

I'll try to get on that today.

I think shivanshu-semwal means that in the screenshot it is spelled wisdome with an e at the end. Also, I will be sending a pull request soon. I wrote a script to edit the punctuation of the quotes.

Very inspirational quote laughing "It is the destiny of the weak to be devoured by the strong."

Maybe time to get a new quote list? When I first made this one, I went with quantity over quality and scraped quotes from websites without reading them. With that said, here are a few of my favorites:-

Guys willing to hold your dick are a dime a dozen Being born is like being kidnapped. And then sold into slavery. Kill me, or you are a murderer. You fuck - you ate my cat! A girl always remembers the first corpse she shaves.

Closing this.
