Some prior art...
**Android says:**
Allow Foo to Access This Device's Location
"Deny"
"Allow"
**iOS says:**
"Foo" Would Like to Use Your Current Location
"Don't Allow"
"OK"
---
I think I personally like the way Android words it more for the following reasons:
* The language is more accurate. You're granting permission to use the location of this device, not of yourself. I think this is important because it means we're not granting access for every device the user owns. This may not mean much now, but in a world where you theoretically have many devices running elementary OS or tied to an elementary cloud account you might want some clarity that you're only granting access per device.
* It doesn't use the word "You". Always a chance for translation error with "You".
* OK is not Okay. Explicit "Allow" and "Deny" makes things more clear.
