Description

:wave: Sorry I know I'm ignoring all of your well-thought out templates, but I wasn't sure where this would land! Here me out...

I noticed that there are a couple of instances of words "simply" and "easily" in your documentation/code comments. Unfortunately, words like this can make people feel frustrated and isolated while reading (myself included, hence the issue) - especially if they are facing issues.

If it's alright with your team, I'd like to take a shot at updating the content to make it more inclusive by removing instances of "simply", "easy", "just", etc. I've used Babel on a couple of past projects, so I'm happy to help 😊

Also if you're interested or want more information on this topic, I'd highly recommend watching Jim Fisher's [Don't Say Simply](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsT2BBWBVmM) talk from Write the Docs Prague 2018 ✍️ 🤓

Thank you for the work you do and please let me know if you need more details!
