 I'm all in favor of lots of text, but woah! Hitting elementary
 and middle school kids with words like "permanently" is not good.

 I found it in the confirmation dialog for activity deletion.

 I doubt the dialog is actually needed. The UI is too slow already.
 One way or another, the kid is simply going to learn the hard way,
 and no amount of warning will stop that.
