Boy, does that look painful. Although I understand the intention, the results aren't actually grammatical.
There's the comma splice in the title text: "Do you utilize an escrow account, if so an account must be specified..." Then, adding the tail end for the various options results in gibberish: "... if so an account must be specified ... pay taxes"-- doesn't make sense. So this is just a fail on all levels. It would be preferable if this were rewritten to use more formal language. Like: Title: Escrow Account Settings Content If your loan utilizes an escrow account, enter the necessary information here. Use Escrow Account Escrow account Escrow includes Taxes Escrow includes Insurance Escrow includes PMI Escrow includes other expenses I'll admit I have never used this assistant, so I don't know why each option includes a secondary check box, or what effect the choices have, but I'll leave that to others.
