Besides the grammar, there are a few other things in that screenshot
that could be made much better:

a. It's impolite to instruct someone to "Select an application" from an
empty list. If no installed applications can open the file, just ask if
you want to search online.

b. However, you shouldn't be given the choice to search for applications
for the "unknown" filetype. That's never going to work!

c. If sessioninstaller *is* told to search for "unknown" handlers by
some rogue application, it shouldn't put up any UI, it should just
silently fail.

d. Again it's impolite to ask someone if they want to install software
from a choice of zero possibilities. If there are no available
applications, just show an error message.
