Do I need to add a reviewer as well?
I'm not familiar with the org structure so I need some help getting acquainted with the process.
Thanks for helping out!

Thanks for the patch. The grammar fix from "are" to "is" is good, the rest of the changes shouldn't be included, since they revert purposeful changes.

The way this is done might not be obvious, but the order and lack of repetition of words is on purpose and it's commonly done this way in Blender's UI. Putting the most important word first and omitting it in subsequent "aligned" buttons makes scanning the text easier, and makes it easier to find common elements.

You'll see the "Frame Start" -> "End" or "Value Min" -> "Max" in a lot of places.

Reversed changes according to review.
Patch is now a simple grammar fix.

@Hans Goudey (HooglyBoogly) The UI naming conventions make sense now. Thanks for the review. Could you please take a look at T91541: Freestyle Modifer - curvature 3d versus 3d curvature which has a similar issue? I'll stop working on that as well.

Could you please take a look at T91541 which has a similar issue? I'll stop working on that as well.

In that case, I think it's fine to change one of them so they're consistent. I don't have a strong opinion which one.

I'm actually not sure this is a grammar error. I think data could be plural here and it would be correct. At least I'm not convinced enough to commit this patch at the moment.
