Plots2: Grammar fixes on Readme

[first-timers[bot]]

Hi, this is a first-timers-only issue. This means we've worked to make it more legible to folks who either haven't contributed to our codebase before, or even folks who haven't contributed to open source before.

If that's you, we're interested in helping you take the first step and can answer questions and help you out as you do. Note that we're especially interested in contributions from people from groups underrepresented in free and open source software!

We know that the process of creating a pull request is the biggest barrier for new contributors. This issue is for you 💝

If you have contributed before, consider leaving this one for someone new, and looking through our general help wanted issues. Thanks!

🤔 What you will need to know.

Nothing. This issue is meant to welcome you to Open Source :) We are happy to walk you through the process.

📋 Step by Step

• [ ] 🙋 Claim this issue: Comment below. If someone else has claimed it, ask if they've opened a pull request already and if they're stuck -- maybe you can help them solve a problem or move it along!

 _kindly note if you choose to use sqlite some tests may fail. The project was setup initially to use mysql and some tests are tailored for mysql db. No need for alarm, we are working to fix these and this will not interfere with your development process_

Hello, I am interested in getting involved in open source and have not contributed to a project before, could I claim this?

Edit: I'd like to let you know that I am not from an underrepresented community and I understand this is an important consideration for the owners of this project. Still eager to help nonetheless!

Hey @slaterp it's completely chill. You can go ahead and contribute to this.
Cheers!

Can I make any contributions to this?

[pratheekcr]

Hi, can I make any contributions to this ticket, please? I am first timer as well.

[noi5e]

Hi @taylorrobertss and @pratheekcr it looks like this particular issue was merged by @slaterp.

There may be more grammar fixes that need to be done in README.md, I recommend you take a look and make a new issue if you see anything!

You can also see issues that are reserved for first-timers here. There are also some first-timer issues that haven't yet been formatted into our template yet here (it just takes a little more browsing).

Let us know on this page, or in our chatroom if you'd like some help navigating any of this 😄
