Thanks. I've attached an updated (final, I promise ;->) version of the
patch which includes a few more unifying changes - primarily making all
messages use definite articles and making the quoting of messages
consistent: always `' around strings, never around numbers.

If at all possible, could this version please be used in place of the
earlier patch?

Thanks,

Adam
