Clarify what 'Delete Notification' does in your inbox

Title:
Clarify what 'Delete Notification' does in your inbox

Area:
inbox, usability

Summary:
The description for this button is dangerously ambiguous; I genuinely thought it was the 'delete all' button at first. It should be re-renamed to "Delete" or perhaps "Delete Selected".

Description:
The "Delete Notifications" button at the top of the Inbox appears to be functionally equivalent to the "Delete" button on LJ's Inbox. However the new title is ambiguous enough that I feel it can easily be mistaken for a "Delete ALL Notifications" button. I was filled with mild trepidation before clicking on it the other day, and my DW Inbox doesn't even have anything that important in it! As I hoped, it only deleted the selected items. It also occurred to me that it could be some sort of "Delete automated notifications but leave real messages from actual people" button, but that seemed even sillier.

I'm not real picky about what the new name is, but "Delete Selected" seems sufficiently clear. Others may have better ideas, if simply "Delete" isn't sufficiently clear.
