New description:

 Sites, Users, Comments, Media items and Plugins have their own translation
 context on the screen options tab, e.g. “sites per page (screen options)”.

 To use the right grammatical case, Posts, Pages, Categories and Tags
 should have that context too.

Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 To summarize, "20 Записи" (20 Posts) isn't a valid expession in Russian.

 It should be "20 записей", but it's currently impossible to use the proper
 translation due to the lack of context. I imagine Czech and other
 languages with declensions have the same problem here.

 Introducing a new label just for screen options seems like an overkill,
 hence the "Items" suggestion.
