Dylan Whyte 092378ba92 Change "data store" to "datastore" throughout docs
Before, there were mixed usages of "data store" and

This is a first proof reading of the currently existing documentation.

fixes (hopefully all):
* spelling
* grammar

Tries to increase readabilty and ease of understanding by simplifying
and restructing some sentences and paragraphs. Filler words which add
to the cognitive load but don't add anything are removed
(most notably `also`).
