Bug description:
The logout dialog is, to my mind, rather strangely worded. It says
(see image attachment): "Goodbye, Colin Watson. Are you sure you want
to close all programs and log out from your account?"
Firstly, I find it odd to be addressed using my full name in this
fashion; nobody in real life would address me this way unless they
were trying to ask whether I was present in a crowd or something. We
could ask the user somehow for their preferred form of address, but
that's pretty tedious. Why not just drop the first sentence? It
reads oddly in any event because it is saying goodbye before
confirming that you actually want to leave.
Secondly, "log out from your account" sounds odd, and I would prefer
"log out of your account". The Google Ngram Viewer seems to agree
that this is a much more common usage:
