No, what I'm saying is if you have two options, both of which get the
point across in a clear way, and one of which is grammatically correct
and the other grammatically incorrect, why not choose the one that is
grammatically correct? What do you have to lose by getting the point
across AND being grammatically correct?

Cheers,

Sean

Are you saying that option 1 fails to get the information across to the
user because it is grammatically incorrect?
