Typo in wp-login.php

I believe should be reset is more appropriate.

$message = __('Someone requested that the password be reset for the following account:') . "\r\n\r\n";

I'm not a native English speaker, though.

Thanks for the suggestion, slaFFik!

'Someone requested that the password be reset' is better English than 'Someone requested that the password should be reset'. 'requested that x be reset' is the subjective mood, which is appropriate here.

Ok, thanks for explaining. I thought passive voice here would be overkill.

What about 'Someone requested a password reset for the following account'?

This is fine. To my ear, it's a bit less literary. Maybe that's a good thing for a "Cheatin', uh?" system like ours :) If the current phrasing is awkward for non-native speakers, let's change it.

I agree, I like the wording Someone requested a password reset for the following account: a lot better.

[obrienlabs]

Actually, the more I say this to myself outloud, I think Someone has requested a password reset for the following account: sounds better. 34605-2.diff has that minor change.

Sigh... that could be my first patch to WordPress and a mention in release notes.
Seems, not this time, as @obrienlabs did the job ;)

Reset Password: Improve wording for a string used in password reset email.

Props obrienlabs.
Fixes #34605.
