Minor issues in Preferences; also, allow both dock and menu bar?
I noticed a couple of things in the Preferences that might be improved. Both are extremely minor points.
First, I'm not sure why this is so, but I've checked against several other applications, both by Apple and by third parties (e.g. Yojimbo, NetNewsWire, VoodooPad) and it seems that when listing preferences by checkbox - sentence structure, the actual sentence does not end with a period.
In iCal:
[ ] Show birthdays calendar
In Yojimbo:
[ ] Auto-save separate editing windows
In NetNewsWire:
[ ] Open links in background
Now compare with Today:
[ ] Open Today at login.
You'd think the period to end the sentence was correct, but that doesn't seem to be the case comparing how other applications do it. No idea why and it doesn't bother me at all, but once I noticed it I had to point it out. :)
Second, in the Today preferences, you have show Today in "The Dock" which looked a little strange, since you don't say "The Menu Bar" for the other option. It might look a little better just to have the option say "Dock".
Finally, related to the last point, might there be an option for "Both" dock and menu bar operation?

Inappropriate?I'm a stickler for little things like this, so I love when people share them with me. I've put them on the todo list.
I’m thankful
