Description: 1. Watch the warning message coming up, if parts of gear might have gotten detached, because of the SL login/TP-bug.

[15:47] ... One (or more) of your ℒսℓս Cuffs has detached (probably from an SL login/TP-bug) and should automatically re-attach itself. If it hasn't, please wear it directly from inventory now (You have about 30 secs before the Alarm goes off). https://lu2.me/detached « your  eyes  only »

2. Look at the statement in brackets.

"...(You have about 30 secs before the Alarm goes off)..."

After 30 seconds the alarm will get triggered, if still parts are not worn then. To many not native english speakers this formulation could be mistakable, because they might translate "goes off" into "switches off". (Actually this happened to me too, before looking up the formulation in a dictionary.)

It's really no big thing of course but also I suggest using plural in case of speaking of one or more than one item in the same statement. It just would sound better to my feel for language. The message would be like this then:

[15:47] ... One (or more) of your ℒսℓս Cuffs have detached (probably from an SL login/TP-bug) and should automatically re-attach themselves. If they haven't, please wear them directly from inventory now (You have about 30 secs before the Alarm gets triggered). https://lu2.me/detached « your  eyes  only »
