Improve error message language and polishing #5635

This pull request is part of a larger project in which we are redesigning our error messages according to these guidelines.

In this PR, I have worked on the redesigning topic (v) Langauge. I removed words like cannot, illegal, invalid etc. to not blame the user and make the sentence more positive. Also worked on polishing some of the error messages according to the given feedback and tried to find anything inconsistent that got missed.

This is surely going the right way. I made a number of suggestions

I also like the way we are working on the error messages!
