Apologies if this isn't the right tag for this issue.

The setting description for the "Run this profile as Administrator" contains the contraction it'll, which is specifically discouraged in the official Microsoft Style Guide.

Avoid ambiguous or awkward contractions, such as there’d, it’ll, and they’d.

The string in question is on line 982 of main/src/cascadia/TerminalSettingsEditor/Resources/en-US/Resources.resw
