Reduce instances of words that shouldn't be used in educational writi…

…ng. (#1126)

* Reduce comma use, make language more direct in Unit testing docs

- Some of these commas aren't grammatically correct. Easy fix.
- Over reliance on words that weaken (might, though, may) make a statement
  ambiguous. Remove some to make concepts more direct and understandable.

* Reduce just,simply,obviously,easy, in unit-testing.md

- Remove 'just', 'all you have to', etc.
- Use direct language, reduce word count

* Reduce just,simply,obviously,easy, in common-gotchas.md

* Reduce just,simply,obviously,easy in v2/api/index.md

There are some places where just and simple are valid! So still some instances
in here.

* Reduce just,simply,obviously,easy in adding-instance-properties.md

* Reduce just,simply,obviously,easy in README.md

* Remove a just in class-and-style.md

* Reduce just,simply,obviously,easy in comparison.md

I didn't want to touch this one too much because it's so important to the
adoption of Vue.

* Reduce just,simply,obviously,easy in components.md

* Reduce just,simply,obviously,easy in computed.md

* Reduce just,simply,obviously,easy in conditional.md

* Reduce just,simply,obviously,easy in custom-directive.md

* Reduce just,simply,obviously,easy in events.md

* Reduce just,simply,obviously,easy in forms.md

* Reduce just,simply,obviously,easy in guide/index.md

Some of these are good usages, and I even added an "easy" :). But I think the
removals make the language flow better.

* Reduce just,simply,obviously,easy in instance.md

* Reduce just,simply,obviously,easy in join.md

 ### Why does `data` need to be a function?
 
-In the basic examples, we declare the `data` directly as a plain object. This is because we are creating only a single instance with `new Vue()`. However, when defining a **component**, `data` must be declared as a function that returns the initial data object. Why? Because there will be many instances created using the same definition. If we still use a plain object for `data`, that same object will be **shared by reference** across all instance created! By providing a `data` function, every time a new instance is created, we can simply call it to return a fresh copy of the initial data.

A rule of thumb is that data should just be data - it is not recommended to observe objects with their own stateful behavior.
 
   Once observed, you can no longer add reactive properties to the root data object. It is therefore recommended to declare all root-level reactive properties upfront, before creating the instance.
 
   After the instance is created, the original data object can be accessed as `vm.$data`. The Vue instance also proxies all the properties found on the data object, so `vm.a` will be equivalent to `vm.$data.a`.
 
   Properties that start with `_` or `$` will **not** be proxied on the Vue instance because they may conflict with Vue's internal properties and API methods. You will have to access them as `vm.$data._property`.
