Remove contractions: n't -> not

Is there anything wrong with contractions? (I'm asking because I use contractions frequently in warning messages)

Not inherently. I don't think the contractions were wrong, just less formal. I guess it depends on the level of formality you want your UI to communicate with.

However I seem to be wrong. It appears that our HIG explicitly recommends against using contractions: https://hig.kde.org/style/writing/contraction.html

Ah, I see, point taken.
