MC-128972Inconsistent hover text for selector arguments
The bug
The tooltips for the selector arguments are inconsistent and sometimes describe their function wrongly.
- distance: Currently shows "Distance to entity", the fact that it doesn't show "entities" (plural) is inconsistent with nbt. It should be "Distance to entities" or "Entities with a certain distance"
- gamemode: Currently shows "Players with gamemode", this is grammatically incorrect and should be something like "Players in a certain gamemode"
- level: Currently shows "Experience level", this is inconsistent with advancements and gamemode. It should be "Players with experience levels"
- name: Currently shows "Entity name", this is inconsistent with nbt. It should be "Entities with name" or "Entities with a specific name"
- tag: Currently shows "Entities with tag", this is grammatically incorrect and should be "Entities with a tag"
- team: Currently shows "Entities on team", this is grammatically incorrect and should be "Entities on a team"
- x, y, z: Currently show "x position", this is inconsistent in regards to capitalization and would make more sense to say "coordinate" instead of "position": "X coordinate"
It also would make more sense to add the word "specific" (or "certain") in front of the nouns, otherwise it sounds like it just needs to have any odd property.

The bug
The following keys incorrectly refer to the concept of game modes using the spelling "gamemode" (single word):
| Translation key | Incorrect value (en_us) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| debug.creative_spectator.help | F3 + N = Cycle previous gamemode <-> spectator | |
| debug.creative_spectator.error | Unable to switch gamemode; no permission | |
| argument.entity.options.gamemode.description | Players with gamemode | See also MC-128972 |
For context, here are the strings that use the correct spelling:
| Translation key | Correct value (en_us) |
|---|---|
| gameMode.changed | Your game mode has been updated to %s |
| selectWorld.gameMode | Game Mode |
| debug.gamemodes.help | F3 + F4 = Open game mode switcher |
| debug.gamemodes.error | Unable to open game mode switcher; no permission |
| commands.defaultgamemode.success | The default game mode is now %s |
| commands.gamemode.success.self | Set own game mode to %s |
| commands.gamemode.success.other | Set %s's game mode to %s |
| argument.entity.options.mode.invalid | Invalid or unknown game mode '%s' |
Steps to reproduce
- Press F3 + Q
- Find the description for "F3 + N"
Notes
"Game mode" is commonly spelt as a single word within the Minecraft community, coming from the name of the /gamemode command. Nonetheless, the official/correct way to spell it appears to be with two words.

The "gamemode" string should also write the description as "game mode" for consistency with other strings referring to the player's game mode.
@Dhranios after looking a bit further into the spelling of "game mode" in translation strings, I have created a new issue to cover the three strings that incorrectly spell it as a single word:
MC-256424.It is culturally accepted that "gamemode" or "game-mode" is an alternative form of "game mode", hence a compound word
