Grammatical errors in installation page on Chrome

Hiya, I just installed Adblock plus in Chrome (well, Chromium, Version 32.0.1700.107 Ubuntu 12.04), the most recent version from the Chrome store (1.7.4), and the page that comes up after installation ([url]chrome-extension://cfhdojbkjhnklbpkdaibdccddilifddb/firstRun.html[/url]) has some grammatical errors. The page says the following near the top:
We'd like to encourage websites to use easily, unobtrusive advertising. That's why we've established strict guidelines to identify positive ads, which are shown under default settings. If you still wish to block every ads you can disable this is a few seconds.
This text has a couple of issues. First, "We'd like to encourage websites to use easily, unobtrusive advertising." - This sentence doesn't really make sense, easily what? Using "easy" on its own wouldn't make much sense either, so this line needs to be reworded in a clearer way. Second, "If you still wish to block every ads you can disable this is a few seconds." - This should be "If you still wish to block all ads", not "every ads".

Of course, this is a relatively minor issue, but probably also a pretty easy thing to fix. I'm not sure if a similar issue exists in Firefox or not. Hope this report is helpful! :)

This is what it says for me:
We'd like to encourage websites to use straightforward, unobtrusive advertising. That's why we've established strict guidelines to identify acceptable ads, which are shown under default settings. If you still want to block every ad you can disable this in a few seconds.
Is the locale of your browser "English (United States)"?
