Improper grammar when there are no completions #868

- - Issue #868 opened by @lewellyn

When there are no completions and the user types "/COMPLETION", the resultant message suffers from a slight bout of poor grammar.

00:12    Irssi: There's no completions

The proper phrasing should be "There are no completions", or if the contraction is really desirable, "There're no completions". The former is a bit awkward to look at, unfortunately.

I reconstructed my correction sentence after writing the sentence about the awkward construction. Please read "latter" instead of "former" in the ultimate sentence.

I apologize for any confusion. ;)
