Description
As a follow-up to #41566, let's use a consistent writing for sign-up/signup in wp-signup.php docblocks.
I believe the correct use is:
- "sign up" in a verbal phrase, which is used to refer to an action of signing up. Example: "Shows a form for a visitor to sign up for a new user account."
- "sign-up" or "signup" when used as a noun or an adjective. Example: "Fires when the site or user sign-up process is complete."
As for now, the wp-signup.php file use the three forms. For consistency, I propose to use "sign up" on verbal phrases (which would be consistent with "log in", already used in the same file), and "sign-up" for the second case, which is the most current use (noun or adjective) in this file.
