[scala/en] A few editing improvements as I read through (#2768)
* A few editing improvements as I read through Take, leave, or modify as desired! Specifically: * Acknowledge weirdness of no parameters in `foreach println` * Mention what `Unit` is * Clarify abstract comments * Fix capitalization of George in example * Explicitly introduce regex * Re-iterate `s` in comments, it's gotten very separated * Reword explanation of foreach
