 In en_GB, the word "tick" is usually substituted for the en_US "check"
 when the meaning is as in "check this box".  Unfortunately "tick" can also
 be used in the sense of a "ticking clock".

 This string curiously has both meanings of en_GB "tick", which seems fine
 in en_US, but is odd in en_GB.

 e.g. [Check "tickers only"] sounds odd as [Tick "tickers only"]

 These strings have suggested (fuzzy) changes from "check" to "tick" and/or
 "checkbox" to "tickbox"

 Can you possibly get a native speaker of the Queen's English to review
 this issue?
