Comment (by johnjamesjacoby):

 Two things I see that could still be done here:

 * Change `don#8417;t` to `do not` because contractions are still a light-
 hearted and softened response to a serious situation, which also helps the
 mission to improve the ease and clarity of our gettext strings
 * There’s a unique “Sorry” string in the JS return value that could match
 the others; I recommend making it match to avoid confusion about why it’s
 unique, and to broaden the footprint of that reusable string for
 translators
