Change context tooltips/tabs from "Context." to actual names described on the following line to improve clarity & accessibility.
In this picture imgur.com/a/rfcekUq you can see the name of tabs on the side are formatted as:
Context.
Render
The "Context." is used for all these tabs as the first focus/main title which is not quite informative and confusing especially for the people who are trying to get into Blender.
This could simply be (my concern is with the order the items are displayed mainly so I just listed description/context as a general placeholder for what follows):
Render.
Description/Context.
Other "tools" follow this different format where they firstly have the actual Title and then some description and other stuff.
For example:
Show overlays.
Display overlays like gizmos and outlines
On the reddit post here reddit.com/r/blenderhelp/comments/ck0fhf/can_please_someone_tell_me_if_in_280_its_possible/ user transmitthis even suggested it was for a while like that during 2.80's beta period in one of the patches.
I understand it might be just part of the API naming, it might not be a big thing function wise but it's something that's making accessibility of Blender worse for obvious clarity reasons.
I hope I made this proposal clear if there are any problems with my language or formatting please let me know I'll try to clarify/adjust things as necessary.
Thank you very much.
EDIT: Since Blender 2.81 the naming has been changed as suggested, so far it's looking great, so I'm changing this topic to "done". :-)

I will take a look at this.This is on along list of things that I am working on so there will probably be a patch available for testing within two weeks
* @Eitan * I'm glad you decided to pick it up, thank you, I'll test the patch after your timeframe, once again thank you.
TLDR - Single word tooltip preferable - please change.
Any Developer looking at changing this could check these two.. blender.community/c/rightclickselect/Dxdbbc/ blender.community/c/rightclickselect/Hycbbc/ developer.blender.org/T67809
