 Two improvements can be made to

 https://build.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-admin/options-
 discussion.php?marks=61#L61

 1. It would be good if the message "These settings may be overridden for
 individual posts." gets changed so that it indicates that any change to
 these settings will only have effect on newly created pages and posts and
 won't change things retroactively. Suggested text: "The discussion
 settings are handled separately for every post and page. The current
 settings on this page are used for newly created posts and pages."


 2. The parenthesis would better be included in the string, this will
 generate a more natural text layout flow for RTL languages.
