The accessibility standard Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 Section 3 states https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#understandable

3. Understandable

Information and the operation of user interface must be understandable.

Guideline 3.1 Readable

Make text content readable and understandable.

Success Criterion 3.1.5 Reading Level

When text requires reading ability more advanced than the lower secondary education level after removal of proper names and titles, supplemental content, or a version that does not require reading ability more advanced than the lower secondary education level, is available.

To achieve this we should use "plain language" wherever possible

  1. Word choice: use the simplest word that conveys your meaning.
    http://plainlanguagenetwork.org/plain-language/what-is-plain-language/

  2. Prefer the short word to the long.
    https://www.plainlanguage.gov/guidelines/words/

This PR is an initial step of improving the strings to match this accessibility guideline. It is continues the work of some previous PR eg #18852 remove "just" and #14607 remove "successfully"
