Are there any plans to clean up the grammar in the English localization of DotNetNuke? I am not an English teacher or anything (actually, I am an ASP.NET developer who uses DotNetNuke for a majority of my organization's projects), but I feel any competent, native speaker of English would notice the imperfections. One big recurring error is that words seem to be capriciously capitalized, as if they were proper nouns. For example, when logging into a DotNetNuke portal with an incorrect user name and password, the error text is "Login Failed, remember that Passwords are case sensitive" instead of "Login failed; remember that passwords are case-sensitive." Additionally, when deleting a module from a page, the JavaScript popup asks "Are You Sure You Wish To Delete This Module?" instead of simply "Are you sure you wish to delete this module?".

Yes, I know this seems a little anal retentive of me, but when you use DNN as much as I do, it starts bugging you.

Since DNN is pretty much an all volunteer effort, I am sure the localization team would love it if you cleaned up the "offending" grammar and submitted your changes.  If it is just a case of capitalization, then it should be pretty straightforward to get the changes approved and incorporated.
