As i am no great expert, and just a user who subscribes to this list - I felt 
that this was specifically on topic as it effects the usability experience; 
granted that there is a great call for a bug report to be filed concerning 
however it is a usability issue.

The documentation is translated into many languages in order that users may 
interact in their own language - this popup, although technically written 
in 'correct' English,  does not satisfy an average user's definition of a 
natural and informative dialog. The suggested changes will change the 
experience in such a manner as to ease the user out of the mindspace which 
currently states that Linux is too technical and difficult for the average 
user. 

By speaking in a manner which is comfortable to the user, the useability of 
the application and the software improves. However, I could be enitrely 
incorrect in my own thoughts about what makes software usable.
