 The media uploader provides an "Alternate Text" field which populates the
 image's "alt" attribute.

 The word "alternate" means "to occur in turn repeatedly". This is
 incorrect usage of this word.

 "alt" is abbreviated from the word "alternative", so this field's label
 should read "Alt Text" or "Alternative Text".
