+- Additions should be added to the bottom of the relevant category.
+- New categories, or improvements to the existing categorization are welcome.
+- Keep descriptions short and simple, but descriptive.
+- Start the description with a capital and end with a full stop/period.
+- Check your spelling and grammar.
