290733 - Spelling/grammar/"better-soundingness" fixes on "Create Account" page

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Developer Pages, defect)

Description

[Jeff Walden [:Waldo]]

There are spelling/grammar errors on the page, which I'll document below:

> Joining Mozilla Update is easy just fill out the form below and click the
> join button. Your e-mail address is used as your username to login. You'll
> also receive confirmation e-mail to this address. In order for your account
> to be activated succesfully, you must specify a valid e-mail address.

s/easy just/easy! Just/
s/join button/Join Mozilla Update button/

(The last isn't strictly required, but it would be more consistent as you call
it by its full name later in the flavor text.)

> How do you want to be known to visitors of Mozilla Update? This is your
> "author name" it will be shown with your extension/theme listings on the
> site.

s/name" it/name", and it/

I suggest changing "site" to "Mozilla Update" to be more specific.

> If you have a website, enter the URL here. (including the http:// ) Your
> website will be shown to site visitors on your author profile page. This
> field is optional, if you don't have a website or don't want it linked to
> from Mozilla Update, leave this box blank.

s/optional,/optional;/

> Your desired password. This along with your e-mail will allow you to login,
> so make it something memorable but not easy to guess. Type it in both fields
> below, the two fields must match.

s/Your desired/This will be your/  (why only "desired"?)
s/This a/A/
s/e-mail/e-mail, this/
s/below,/below -/

> Review what you entered above, if everything's correct, click the "Join
> Mozilla Update" button. If you want to start over, click "Clear Form".

s/above, if/above. If/

> If you already have signed-up for an account, you don't need to sign-up
> again. Just use your e-mail address and password and login.

"signed up" is usually done as two separate, non-hyphenated words.

> If you don't remember the password for your acconut, you can recover a
> forgotten password.

s/acconut/account/

Round two

<tr><td colspan=2>If you have a website, enter the URL here. (including the
http:// ) ....

I'd say: 
enter the URL here (including the http://).

I may be wrong - I don't recall the rules for parenthesis and punctuation.


<tr><td colspan=2>Your desired password. This along with your e-mail will allow
you to login....

"This, along with..."

r=me with these changes.
