Worse Item Descriptions

Description
You ever think the game's too handholdy? Do you wanna bumble around like an idiot not knowing jack about anything you pick up?
If yes, this is the mod for you!

I've personally made every* item and trinket description more vauge or silly, without straying too far from the original game's style.

Also, because I can, I've changed some item's names to make them better. Namely, the double infestation/missing page/odd mush/etc problem, the pickaxe, and the dunce cap.
If you don't want the names changed, just go into the mod folder, ctrl+f it, and change it manually. It's so easy, even I could do it!

NEW 1.7.9a PATCH: it works. That's it.

If there are any mistakes or misspellings, please let me know!

Unfortunately, due to limitations, Birthright only works if I modify Players.xml, so it may clash with other mods that change that. Same with cards and PocketItems.xml. sorry.

(*some were already vauge enough, and if the desc explained something that was instantly identifiable i didn't bother. also, i'd like to see you make a new desc for 1up that isn't "Extra life")

@blebsmc99 thank you very much!!! i will not be changing dogma gnuts.
@everyone else Thank you for your submissions. they have been duly ignored.

semi-biannual reminder that you can personalize your version of the mod by just digging through your mod folder and editing the items.XML located in folder "worse item descriptions_2579382372".
