  1. We already have the sentence "This action cannot be undone" in the empty 
trash dialog alongside the word "permanently". This patch just makes the 
similarly destructive delete action say the same thing.
  
  2. It's well known the users barely read this kind of text, if at all. They 
only tend to remember parts of the text that are at the beginning or end, and 
the word "permanently" is buried in the middle. Regardless, I think the extra 
sentence "this action cannot be undone" is important to emphasize. This is an 
irreversible destructive action, after all.
  
  3. The purpose of making the text bold was to draw the casual user's eye to 
it and make them remember it. If there's anything about this dialog that we 
want them to remember, it's that they can't undo it and are on their own if 
they make a mistake.
