I want to change the default way that say a node/add/coolcontenttype
looks, basically I want to give people the ability to add content but I need to make certain parts of the content type easier to understand for a non-drupal/non-techie user (no outsider will know wtf term or node or whatever means).
Is there a way you can stylize the submission form like a content type view page?
like node-contentype-addpage.tpl.php or something like that?

In short...no, forms aren't
In short...no, forms aren't themable in the same way node types are - although some will disagree with me, since you can override an entire form in template.php but i wouldn't call that theming, more like re-wiring!
If you want to change the word "node" or "term" to something else, you could use the translate module i guess?
But as for styling the submission form itself, you'll need to use the css hooks available in the form, ID + classes, or add your own by changing the form code output itself by overriding it in template.php or in your own module.
Sorry, probably not what you wanted to hear, maybe i'm totally wrong...hopefully someone else knows another method?
