Strings

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The strings are inconsistent about the "closed" terminology. Sometimes it is 
"closed", sometimes "assassinated". The latter is longer but clearer as it's 
not all closed tabs that show up in the list. Perhaps we can use a shorter verb 
that's still not "close", like "snipe" or "remove"? Some of the strings are 
also a little on the long side. Suggestions:

"There are no closed tabs." ->
"No recently sniped tabs."

"How long should a tab have been inactive before it is closed?" ->
"How long to wait before sniping an inactive tab"

"How long should a tab have been closed before it is removed?" ->
"How long to remember a tab after sniping it"

I am not a huge fan of the word sniping/sniped and I agree that 
assassinating/assassinated is too long.

Perhaps closed is fine.  Technically, they are closed.  The only difference is 
that the tab is remembered.  How about:

"There are no closed tabs.

"How long to wait before closing an inactive tab"

"How long to remember a closed tab"

I am worried about using 'closed' because user-closed tabs won't appear there, 
which will feel like a bug. I think tab assassin needs some way of 
differentiating this class of closedness.

how about "clear/cleared"? connotes tidiness

"There are no cleared tabs.

"How long to wait before clearing an inactive tab"

"How long to remember a cleared tab"

I am 75% in move with this?

How about 'removed'?

"No tabs have been removed by the extension."

"How long to wait before the extension removes an inactive tab"

"How long should the extension remember a removed tab"

What do you think about adding the 'the extension' string also?

"No tabs have been removed by the extension." - Sure. Perhaps the headers could 
be simply "Open" and "Recently assassinated" (as I think that "recently" is 
another key concept here)

For the options strings, it might be nice to make them sound more active:

"Remove a tab after it has been inactive for: " <input>

"Remember a removed tab for: " <input>

"Do not remove these websites: " <input>

hopefully "the extension" is not necessary here due to the context of being on 
the extension's options page.

make that "Open Tabs" and "Recently Assassinated"

I like the use of the word 'recently'

I have been thinking of moving away from the word, 'assassinated' as it is not 
very user-friendly - or so I have been told.  If removed it being used in the 
options UI, I think it should be used in the extension UI for consistency.
