Bug Description
Binary package hint: nautilus-share
**Not a duplicate of #258900.** The use of "write in this folder" in the "allow other people to write in this folder" option can be confusing for users. Perhaps a better way to put it is "make changes in this folder." The verb "to write" has several meanings, hurting the user's ability to understand this feature at an abstract level.
Further, using the word "Comment" as part of this option seems to complicate the situation. See attached screenshot.
Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope 9.04

The wording is easy to change if somebody has a better suggestion, needs to happen early though so translator can work on the new string
