Description
The user interface is inconsistent with the terms "warning" and "error".
The term "Error" should be used when there unambiguously is a problem. E.g.: "Will not work", "Data has inadvertently been lost", "Needed file is missing", "Would crash"
The term "Warning" should be used when there is ambiguity or there is a chance of suboptimal outcomes. E.g.: "Might not work", "Might lead to data loss", "Could crash"
Some dialogs are even so confused as to use both terms!
