Grammatical error. https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=30620.msg389201#msg389201

I am probably not the first person to notice this but, who knows. When you go to someone's Profile info and there are no comments on that page it will say:

  'There are no comments. Would you like to add first?'

It should be:

  'There are no comments. Would you like to add the first?'

Clearly this is not high on that list of fixes, but still... bad grammar vexes me. :P

In formal English, it is better to use "quotation" as a noun and "quote" as a verb.  The punctuation mark " is a quotation mark because it encloses quotations.  However, "quote" is used as a noun in the context of a rate quote.  Should we change "Insert Quote" to "Insert Quotation"?
