How to change 'Friends' to 'Connections'

I am looking to change everywhere it says 'Friend' or 'Friends' to 'Connections'. The client that we are building this site for does not like the branding of 'Friends'. How/where would we change this?

Albert -

Thank you for your help! Your method does work, but it is very time-consuming. A faster alternative is to modify the language file directly. My solution was to modify the language file located here:

/language/en-GB/en-GB.com_community.ini

I simply searched for "Friend" using a text editor then replaced all instances of " Friend " with " Connection ". It took a few variations to get all of them. Once I completed it, I saved the file and uploaded it to the server again.

After refreshing the cache, the changes took place on my site.

Thank you for your help!
