Hi @Presskopp. I see in
ticket:39176#comment:4 that the preferred form of expression is to replace doesn't
contraction with does not
. Is that the consensus on contractions @desrosj? I'm happy to work on this but I don't see a reference to the particular file.

Personally, I think the non-contracted verb form is much clearer, particularly for people were their first language is not English but they are using an English install for whatever reason.

Patch changes "can not" and "can't" to "cannot", "doesn't" to "does not" and "isn't" to "is not".
