docs: Update CONTRIBUTING.md (#9760)

## Description

fix typo in "accommodating" and apply content standards to replace Latin with words (e.g. is now for example) and limit the use of "please" per https://developers.google.com/style/tone#politeness-and-use-of-please 

many new repos are using the Cosmos SDK repo as a good model to follow, so I thought to make this README the best README we can make it. 

Closes: #XXXX

## Pull Requests
PRs should be categorically broken up based on the type of changes being made (i.e. `fix`, `feat`,
`refactor`, `docs`, etc.). The *type* must be included in the PR title as a prefix (e.g.
`fix: <description>`). This ensures that all changes committed to the base branch follow the
PRs should be categorically broken up based on the type of changes being made (for example, `fix`, `feat`,
`refactor`, `docs`, and so on). The *type* must be included in the PR title as a prefix (for example,
`fix: <description>`). This convention ensures that all changes that are committed to the base branch follow the
[Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/) specification.
Additionally, each PR should only address a single issue.
### Pull Request Templates
There are currently three PR templates. The [default template](./.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md) is for types `fix`, `feat`, and `refactor`. We also have a [docs template](./.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE/docs.md) for documentation changes and an [other template](./.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE/other.md) for changes that do not affect production code. When previewing a PR before it has been opened, you can change the template by adding one of the following parameters to the url:

- If your changes relate to the core of the CLI (not specifically to module's CLI/Rest), please modify the `docs/run-node/` folder.
- If your changes relate to a module, please update the module's spec in `x/moduleName/docs/spec/`.

When writing documentation, follow the [Documentation Writing Guidelines](./docs/DOC_WRITING_GUIDELINES.md).
## Forking
Please note that Go requires code to live under absolute paths, which complicates forking.
Go requires code to live under absolute paths, and this requirement complicates forking.
While my fork lives at `https://github.com/rigeyrigerige/cosmos-sdk`,
the code should never exist at `$GOPATH/src/github.com/rigeyrigerige/cosmos-sdk`.
Instead, we use `git remote` to add the fork as a new remote for the original repo,
