Bug Description

In the first slide, this text:

   This version consolidates the Unity desktop interface; a brand new way. . .

Should fix 2 errors by saying:

   . . . interface, a brand-new way. . .

In the "Shotwell" slide, this text:

   Connect a camera or a phone to transfer your photos, then it's easy. . .

should say:

   Connect a camera or a phone to transfer your photos. Then it's easy. . .

(Fixes a comma splice.)

In the Banshee slide, this text:

   With advanced playback options and the Ubuntu One music store built in, it's simple to queue up the perfect songs

should say:

   . . . built in, you can easily queue up the perfect songs

(In the existing text, using "it" as the subject of the sentence creates confusion.)

In the slide about getting help, this text:

    You'll be sorted in no time.

should be:

    You'll be sorted out in no time.

(As far as I know, for this purpose just "sorted" is contrary to English idiom. At least to an American ear, it sounds utterly wrong. "Sort out" is standard.)

NOTE: This is a bug report for a fresh install on Oneiric, not Natty. I've absent-mindedly reported it on a machine running Natty.
