Whilst updating it would be good to change the headings so that they are the same as the itemsin the drop down list for the setting. See screenshot.

Ray, thanks for your report. I'm assuming this issue has been fixed as part of the help strings rewrite in Moodle 2. If you have any further suggested improvements, please create a new issue.
