Fixing language strings was created by Eoin Feeney
Just some improvements on the English. Some of them require plurals and some could be written in a slightly different way.
For what it's worth in every one of these I changed the word registration to "booking" or similar. I don't know if there's a way to find out if other users would agree with my sentiment but that's what we would call it in the UK. I think these touches up on the language strings make it a stronger and less confusing product.

EB_FORM_SUBMIT_TOO_FAST="You submitted the booking too quickly. Please slow down when completing the booking form"
EB_EXCEEDED_NUMBER_FORM_SUBMISSIONS="You exceeded the number form submissions allowed"
Attached is my full override file for bookings instead of registrations. I have also use the UK spelling of organisations and the word county instead of state. Simply rename this file en-GB.override.ini
Then upload it to /language/overrides/
Be sure you aren't already overwriting one that exists, if you are, copy and paste the file contents and put them before your existing overrides at the top of the file.

For your information, you can change these language items directly in Events Booking -> Translation for easier management. You do not need to create language override
The change here will be kept when you update to future releases of the extension

Ah I did not know that, that is very useful indeed. I haven't seen that on an extension before. My way was a very quick way to edit things though and to make it easier to use on future sites too. But thank you.

Yes, guess we are only developers implement this feature 
It allows managing language string in a central location and easier to update when it is needed
