If you really wanted to get full control to change that wording, you would need to switch to WordPress.org and actually do some custom PHP programming or find a plugin that does what you want.

That said, here are some examples of adding text using pseudo elements that you can play around with.

I see you replaced the "leave-reply" link text using this custom CSS:

.leave-reply {
	visibility: hidden;
}
.leave-reply:before {
	visibility: visible;
	content:"What'd you think? Leave a comment.";
}

Another way to do that would be to just add the first part like this:

.leave-reply:before {
	content: "What'd you think? ";
}

And if you wanted to do the same thing when some comments have already been left, you would also add this:

.comments-link:before {
	content: "What'd you think? ";
}

Or if you wanted to add "Leave your own." after the links that show the number of comment that have been left, you could add this:

.comments-link:after {
	content: " Leave your own.";
}

Leave your own' sounds much less sterile than 1 reply. I'd also like to know how to force the Twenty Twelve theme to show those comments underneath posts without having to view the individual post url's.

Changing it to "There's currently 1 comment. Leave your own." would be that much better.

I've already changed the wording for when no comments have been made, but I'd like to change the wording after someone has left a comment from "1 reply" to "1 comment".

Can anyone help with this?
