      To place it in context, program messages that use poor grammar stick 
in my mind and reflect poorly on the program, but I would not give program 
messages that use contractions a second thought.   While program messages 
should be a bit more formal than email, I have never considered that program 
message formality level should match a formal business paper letter.  (I may 
be wrong.  Disclaimer: I'm not a top grammar student).
