I like a number of contrib modules whose default user interface text strings English is mediocre to very bad; this mediocre or bad English reflects very poorly on all who use the module, and on the entire Drupal community, in fact.
I believe this issue needs to be spoken about Drupal-wide, and I am in favor of an "English Board" (and then other language boards when thay are ready and volunteers can be gathered to people them) which all contrib modules should submit their user interface code to - that is whatever text a user will see in their browser - which Board will improve their English wherever necessary, and to which contrib module authors MUST defer. It's just too inane not to do this.
I mean this in all earnestness and proper respect to the contrib module authors. What does the Drupal community have against putting decent English into contrib module text string defaults? We have, in our organization, a former English teacher with over 20 years of experience teaching English, who we will gladly put to work improving all English text strings for contrib modules which will be seen in the browser. I bet other individuals and groups will offer to do this for other languages, etc... and all of a sudden the entire Drupal experience can look (and be) much more professional. Will anyone support this effort, which I believe will only work if contrib module authors are required to defer to the language board's improved text string - whose "improvement" should ONLY cover spelling and grammatial errors, and NEVER contextual or meaning or "fun with words" types of text strings.
Can we start a Drupal-wide discussion on seriously improving the outward-facing appearance of drupal 7 and 8 sites by improving the default language text strings whenever and wherever they need improving?

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
Beyond the practicality of this I don't really understand the need. If you see language that could be improved, you can submit a merge request to fix it. I've done this many times.
Since the OP seems to no longer have an account, I'm going to close this one for now.
