 If you try to create a user on multisite using an email address that is
 tied to an unconfirmed user, you'll get this notice

         That email address has already been used. Please check your inbox
 for an activation email. It will become available in a couple of days if
 you do nothing.

 "Please check ''your'' inbox" seems to imply that the logged in user
 should check their own inbox for an activation email. Not sure of the best
 way to reword that so it's clear without being overly wordy. Possibly
 something like

         That email address is reserved pending activation. It will become
 available in a couple of days if left unconfirmed.

 or

         That email address is reserved. An activation email has been sent
 to that address. If left unconfirmed it will become available in a couple
 of days.

 Also, "couple of days" could be any time less than 2 days, so perhaps a
 dynamic value could be used here giving a better approximatation of the
 time remaining till the unconfirmed address will be freed up.
