Description Bruce Cowan 2006-07-25 17:48:59 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
I don't want to be a grammar nazi, but the Show: list has an entry in it which is entitled "Last 5 Days Messages".  This is bad grammar, it should be "Last 5 days' Messages", as it is a plural possessive.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open up the "Show" combo box
2. Scroll down to "Last 5 Days Messages"

Actual results:
Nothing much really

Expected results:
It should say "Last 5 Days' Messages"

Does this happen every time?
Yes
