Replace "delete" with "remove from inbox" on inbox page

Title:
Replace "delete" with "remove from inbox" on inbox page

Area:
inbox UI

Summary:
When the only thing in the inbox is comment notification(s) "delete" is ambiguous between "delete comment from entry" and "remove notification from inbox". "Remove from inbox" would disambiguate.

Description:
The main drawback I can see is brief confusion for people who are already very familiar with "delete", but I'd imagine they'd get used to the new system pretty quickly. Also it's a bit wordier, but that page isn't over-stuffed with buttons so might be OK.

I think explanatory text would be sufficient. I never mistook the two, but I can see where the confusion might arise...

All of the solutions thus far seem worse than the disease, though.

Explanatory text sounds good.
