Currently when beginner is adding new sphere primitives,
the description is not informative. It is especially visible
for not native English speakers (like me), as it is hard to translate Ico Sphere and UV Sphere.

With this commit I have added basic information what every sphere is,
and basic usage of it. After using this commit, it is much more clear,
when to use each sphere and what is the main differences.

It's nice not to just repeat the name in the description. But I would remove the last sentence you added to both descriptions. I think that contains too much information for a tooltip. More info here: https://developer.blender.org/docs/features/interface/human_interface_guidelines/tooltips/

I'd still prefer to leave out "It can be used for texturing". That doesn't really explain anything by itself I think. I guess this is hinting that it's going to work better when UV unwrapping with a spherical projection, but that seems too specific.

Grammar is incorrect here: contains -> containing.

But semantically this is questionable too-- the cube doesn't "contain" faces, is is the faces.
I'm also not convinced this is necessary, is "cube" a word that needs explanation?

Unfortunately in Blender there are different kind of Cubes.

I attached the screenshot with Add Cube (which is Rectangular cuboid), which is confusing.

@HooglyBoogly @brecht
Do you think I should rather change Add Cube to Add Rectangular Cuboid in other case?

I would not use "Rectangular Cuboid". It may be technically more correct, but also makes things harder for new users.

Apparently it's in the dictionary, but I've never heard "quadratic" used in this way. I'd suggest simplifying the tooltip to just Construct a subdivided plane mesh
