Description

**Describe the bug/enhancement**
I believe the confusion users have with 'Cancelling' a tx is that it is not as simple as actually cancelling a transaction. It involves sending a transaction with the same nonce to an already pending tx. Overriding a tx seems more appropriate way of wording these types of transactions, but other wordings might be more appropriate.

Done means the wording is consistently updated wherever this action appears.
