I just didn't understand what it was trying to tell me.  I'm ok with the 
wording, as long as I understand that I am using the software correctly -- 
Ino ther words, I don't want to miss learning cards.

OK, I wasn't sure because the software also pops up that message about 
"you've learned 15 cards"... and also there are warnings about "learning 
ahead of schedule".

I'm sorry but I still don't understand how the software determines 
"urgent".  The shortest interval --- is this about how long the user takes 
to answer a card.  I know the time to view the card is tracked.   Is this 
the meaning of "interval"?   Sorry for being so dense.
