Agreed. If we are fixing these particular strings, and if, as Alexander
says, there are other similar strings, then I assume that those strings
will also be changed at the same time?

Attached is a patch. It changes 30 strings (long + short for 3 keys each
for 5 URL types). Of those, ten are identical. It makes consistent the
use of "command" vs. "program", fixes punctuation in long descriptions,
and generally makes the descriptions more consistent (and what I
consider to be) more usable.

I know this is quite a few changes, but if Alexander's changes are being
committed and the strings are to be improved, this patch represents how
I think the strings would be ideally. I am open to suggestions.

I want to reiterate that I only think changes should be made with the
full support of the release team and the translation team.
