<pre>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”.</pre>
