(Get the code!)
Besides the grammar, there are a few other things in that screenshot that could be made much better:
a. It's impolite to instruct someone to "Select an application" from an empty list. If no installed applications can open the file, just ask if you want to search online.
b. However, you shouldn't be given the choice to search for applications for the "unknown" filetype. That's never going to work!
c. If sessioninstaller *is* told to search for "unknown" handlers by some rogue application, it shouldn't put up any UI, it should just silently fail.
d. Again it's impolite to ask someone if they want to install software from a choice of zero possibilities. If there are no available applications, just show an error message.
