Description
In "Add New User" view, we have this language:
Add the user without sending them a confirmation email.
In addition to being a checkbox anti-pattern, the language is confusing because the user is sent an email anyway — their username and password (another type of confirmation).
It would be helpful to clarify in this UX that there are two options:

- Create the user account and send an email with the username and password.
I suspect any changes to this flow will want to be handled in conjunction with the likes of #27192, #16235
