Can/could you make it sound a little bit better but not formal? - What's the difference between 'could' and 'can' in this case? Is 'can' better as I'm asking you if you're able to make it sound a little bit better?
CliveJust replace the apostrophe with a g
Why didn't you use the article the in front of the 'g'? Thanks.

To my mind, "could" is somewhat more... respectful, perhaps. "Can you" is a direct request; additionally, to answer "no" to a "can you" question is to say you are literally unable to do so, whereas in that way "could" might be more appropriate for requests. :/
