Improve text. All text.

Douwe Maan requested to merge text into master

This MR is the home of my efforts to walk through every piece of text in GitLab and make sure it's up to our (or I guess, my) standards, in terms of English correctness, consistency across the board (e.g., "Create Merge Request" vs "Make a merge request" vs "New merge request") and general correctness and descriptiveness.


  • public/
    • Improve text on error pages.
  • lib/
    • Improve Git access error messages.

    • Improve OAuth signup error message.
    • ...
  • config/
    • User facing strings
      • Improve OAuth application flash messages.
    • Comments by configuration vars
  • app/
    • app/workers/
    • app/models/
    • app/controllers/
    • app/services/
    • app/mailers/
    • app/assets/
    • app/helpers/
    • app/views/
  • doc/

Everyone, but especially native English speakers (cc @rspeicher), feel free to share your thoughts and correct me when I make a mistake. :)
