I truly appreciate this post. People like myself can be confused with all the keys, memo's, websites and extra passwords, when first entering this new world of cryptocurrency.

I think a detailed explanation of every aspect of the wallet, in full sentences leaving out all acronyms would be a great help.

There are many posts that go into detail about such things, a guy named @noisy has done a great service for us all and has gone in great depth in many of his posts to help explain such things.
Check out a few of his posts:
