They are little things like capital letters in the wrong place and generally poor grammar. Here is an actual example from lxpanel: "Reserve space, and not covered by maximized windows".

There were a person from the lubuntu project doing some clean up earlier
but I do not think that has progressed anywhere.

More or less all developers are Asian and does not use English as their
mother tounge. I am not speaking English as mother tounge either as I am
Swedish.

If someone know about someone willing to proof read the code base and
then do that as a continous work I am more than happy to collab with
that person. It is indeed needed but it's not possible without that person.

Ofc, strings like the one above could have been cleared by anyone else
because that's just wrong =)
