We had a conversation on FB about FS in general.
Involve a big number of freestyle users.
We had tons of feedback.
We found out few tooltips in need of urgent fix.
I also include suggested tooltips.

They are

Edge types:

silhouette(select outer contour & inner closed mesh edges with depth differences),
border(select open mesh edges),
crease(select edges by minimal face angle set by crease angle),
edge mark (select marked edges),
contour (select outer edges of each object),
external contour (select external edges of a group of object),
suggestive contour (select almost silhouette/contour edges)
ridge and valley (select edges when faces direction change from concave to convex)

Face mark (//don't use "negation operation" here)

Inclusive (include marked faces to edge detection)
Exclusive (exclude marked faces to edge detection)

Group (//don't use "negation operation" here)

Inclusive (include object group to edge detection)
Exclusive (exclude object group to edge detection)

Line style > Thickness > Position

Inside(move edge inside for outer edge types when chaining enabled with type plain & same object activated)
Outside(Move edge toward outside for outer edge types when chaining enabled with type plain & same object activated)
Relative(relative position for outer edges when chaining enabled with type plain & same object activated)

Some good suggestions here. I've got a few more problematic tooltips:

Face mark

currently

One Face Select feature edges if one of faces on the right and left has a face mark
Both Faces Select feature edges if both faces on the right and left faces have a face mark

my suggestion

One Face Select a feature edge if either of its adjacent faces is marked (or: has a face mark)
Both Faces Select a feature edge if both of its adjacent faces are marked (or: have a face mark)

Line style > Strokes

Chaining > Method(Chaining method) (or: method of jointing edges)
Caps(Shape of the stroke's ends)

Line style > Alpha

Alpha (Alpha transparency of the stroke) (following material transparency)
