Title:
  "Addressbook" in address book card is confusing

Status in address-book-app package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 15.04 r99, BQ Aquaris E4.5

  1. Add a Google account to Contacts, if there isn't one already.
  2. Create a new card with someone's name and a phone number.
  3. Sometime later, navigate to the card.

  What you see: "Addressbook" and your Gmail address.

  What's wrong with this:
  * "Addressbook" is not a word, except for software developers.
  * You could easily misinterpret this as meaning that you accidentally entered your own e-mail address as the contact's e-mail address.

  As far as I can tell, "Addressbook:" here means "The place where you
  want the contact to be stored". You can't choose to store a contact in
  more than place, but I guess that's a separate problem.

  What you should see:
  * The place where the contact is stored is labelled more plainly, for example, "Stored in:" rather than "Addressbook:".
  * The location is displayed very differently from normal e-mail addresses. For example:
      - as "Google (user.name)" rather than an e-mail address, and/or
      - with more vertical empty space between this and the actual contact data, and/or
      - in a smaller font (compare bug 1364638).
