            Bug ID: 165661
           Summary: [Cocoa] Validation message for required checkbox
                    doesn’t conform the the Apple Style Guide
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Other
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Forms

The form validation message for a required checkbox says “Check this box”. The Apple Style Guide says not to use “check” as a verb “when you mean the action of clicking a checkbox to select an option”. It also says “You select or deselect a checkbox”. It goes on to give this as an example of correct usage: “Select the ‘Object causes wrap’ checkbox”.

So at least on Apple platforms, I think the validation message should be “Select this checkbox” instead of “Check this box”.
