Update explanation of parameters and arguments

[Lk-ux]

Clarify the distinction between parameters and arguments in function definitions.

Description

Corrected the note by clarifying that parameters and arguments are not same.

Motivation

Currently, the note incorrectly says that parameters are called arguments, properties, and attributes. My correction resolves this misunderstanding.

Thanks, @Lk-ux, for your work on this. I agree that this needs to be called out more accurately. I decided to make a few changes to the PR for further improvements:

1. I went through and made some general grammar improvements.
2. I edited your note a bit and also promoted it to being part of the main content flow. I think it is too important to be hidden in a note.
3. I changed a bunch of instances of "parameter" to "argument" as many of them were being wrongly used, as per your change.

I've approved it, but I won't merge it until you've reviewed my changes and let me know you're happy with them.
