Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
This issue will try to remove most unnecessary notions of the world "Please" - following the interface text writing standards we set in http://drupal.org/node/604342 . The world "Please" sets an unfriendly type of language, where its intention is to make "commands" more friendly it usually sets the wrong tone - implying a user HAS to do something.

Bojhan CreditAttribution: Bojhan commentedYou where a bit fast Dries, hehe :D Atleast 20 other mentions, but working on a patch
Comment #6
Bojhan CreditAttribution: Bojhan commentedThere we go, decided not to remove a couple - because I wasn't sure about those, their context seems more important.

Comment #11
aspilicious CreditAttribution: aspilicious commentedThe patch i uploaded was originally of Bohjan I just cut out the part that already had been commited.
I read through the entire patch...
Looks good for me, setting RTBC
And I think this has to get in soon because it's affecting a lot of pages. Else it will need a reroll.
Dries or Webchick: this is a follow up patch on the patch Dries commited to HEAD. (#3)
Comment #12
agentrickardRevised patch catches two missed instances of "please". Also removes several comma splice errors.
For example:
Should be:
These are two separate command statements and require either a period (used in the revised patch) or a semicolon.
Also edited a few mistakes with ", or" constructions in "either...or" usage.
E.g.
Should be:
The construction is "refer to A or B", not "refer to A, or B."

Bojhan CreditAttribution: Bojhan commentedJust reviewed your changes (jeez this is a big patch), those are better constructions. Good work!
