Liz-jsk: UI strings are in resource files, not in classes. Each
module/project has its own resource manager and cannot (without a lot of extra
work on the part of the developer) use strings from other modules. Therefore it
only makes sense to delete redundant strings within the same module, even
better: within the same file.

I agree that a consistent formulation would be nice. The file already exists,
overwrite? would be the one to deprecate as it is not the most lovely English. 

However, as the 14 existing UI strings (6 of which match your 2nd example) with
Overwrite? at the end of them are all already localized, I do not see that
they are worth incurring costs to change. (both for changing the source language
and triggering l10n in 50 languages) The 14 strings I found are in 8 different
modules, therein 13 different files. Not much that can be reused there anyway
and almost no benefit to the user.

According to the writing style rules I wrote, all new messages should propagate
the better form The file already exists. Do you want to overwrite it? and so
the older, less lovely forms will die out over time.
