Better Written Robotic Limbs Extended

Description
The improper and inconsistent punctuation, akward grammar, often pluralized, and sometimes nonsensical descriptions of the original mod were a big obstacle to my enjoyment of it. Luckily, I'm a writer. Here's the best I could do in a spare evening.

Some examples:
From "Quite strong limbs of the MarkII version, relief weights are soldered to the surface, the limbs are made of high-quality alloy, such can easily break a steel crossbar or someone's spine" to "This sturdy robotic limb has relief weights soldered to its surface. It's made of a high-quality alloy and has the power to easily crush steel — or bone."

From "These limbs are fragile and clumsy, uncomfortable and smell strange, hardly worth the money, perfect for tightwads" to "A fragile, uncomfortable and smelly robotic limb. Hardly worth paying for."

From "This leg will come in handy on long journeys across distant lands, it is not as fast as the Scout Leg, but is slightly stronger, which is important for a nomadic lifestyle." to "This artificial runner's limb features a reinforced construction, balancing strength with speed."

From "This limb belonged to a warrior, it still shows traces of war paint, it once had meaning, now it's all just junk." to "Scrapes of paint indicate this limb used to belong to a decorated warrior. No identifiable markings remain."

From "This hand is badly damaged, traces of repair are visible on it, but these attempts were obviously unsuccessful, it is better to leave it as is, it barely holds its shape" to "This limb is badly damaged. A past repair attempt has left it scarred and barely functional. Still, it's better than a stump."

From "These limbs are unique, clearly custom made, probably a hybrid of features from different types of limbs, very unusual. They belonged to a disgraced emperor in exile." to "This robotic limb is clearly custom-made and one-of-a-kind. It looks to be a hybrid of many different limbs, combining the best parts of each. It used to be attached to a disgraced and exiled emperor."

It's easier to rewrite something than it is to write something from nothing, so give the original some love.
