some wording tweaks and suggestions - mostly tightening the wording and switching to a more direct wording, using present tense.

Looks good to me, thanks! Just some minor suggestions.

## Swiftly Support

The extension supports toolchains managed by [swiftly](https://github.com/swiftlang/swiftly), the Swift toolchain installer and manager. For instructions on installing swiftly see the [installation instructions on Swift.org](https://www.swift.org/install).

Would it be better to use swiftly (in monospace font) instead of just swiftly everywhere to make sure people understand that we're referring to the tool and not the adverb?

I'm on the fence about this one. Swiftly's documentation always refers to itself as swiftly without the monospace and all lower-case (even when it's at the start of a sentence which is interesting). I also don't think that the monospaced font is super distinguishable between the standard font in the compiled documentation unless it's made bold as well.

Azure outage is making it so that we can't download VS Code to run tests. Merging despite the one build failure.
