Null user message error has poor grammar

If you try to start a message thread without selecting a user, the error text says:

=

Message error

One user for single chat required

=

The title should be either "Error message" or "Alert" or something. "Message error" implies there is an error in the message itself.

"Single chat" is something I'd associate with the ads on the last page of a local newspaper. "Hot singles in the area ready to chat" and such. And is there "multiple chat" that requires no users? And why is it "members" on the button but "users" in the message?


Isn't the general design guideline that the messages should be clear and guide the user on what to do? How about just "chose at least one person to start a chat" or "hey buddy, are you trying to start a chat with yourself?".

Yes, you're correct. Jelena raises good (and humorous) points as well. We'll work on fixing the language.

Thanks for pointing it out.

Best regards,
