Comment (by henrywright):

 I've been thinking about the wording of notifications and it doesn't quite
 make sense. Take the following as an example:

 {{{You have 1 new message from Henry Wright - Read | Delete 24 minutes
 ago}}}

 {{{You have 1 new message from Henry Wright - Read | Delete 25 minutes
 ago}}}

 {{{You have 1 new message from Henry Wright - Read | Delete 26 minutes
 ago}}}

 Of course each notification in this list makes sense when read as a stand
 alone item. However, as a whole, the member actually has 3 new messages
 from Henry Wright so "You have 1 new message from Henry Wright" isn't
 actually true.

 Would it be better to use wording such as:

 {{{Henry Wright sent you a message - Read | Delete 26 minutes ago}}}

 Am I being too finicky?

 Also (but this is merely a personal preference) I'm thinking of adding
 Henry Wright's avatar to the beginning of the notification to keep the
 list consistent with the various parts of BP such as the members list or
 messages list where user avatars are displayed.
