This PR proposes to improve the language used in the FFM specification. There is a relatively small number of corrections.

One peculiarity with the English language is the distinction between "that" (to be used in a restrictive clause) and "which" (to be used in a non-restrictive clause). Here is a reference: https://preply.com/en/blog/when-to-use-which-or-that-the-most-common-cases

Another source for updates is the difference between BE and AE where most of us Europeans were taught BE but we should use AE in the specifications.
