(Get the code!)
Where would those strings appear?
The first string is unsuitable as a window title, because it uses sentence case and punctuation; correct for a window title would be something like "Purchase Unsuccessful". And it would be unsuitable as alert primary text, because it's not a complete sentence; it needs "Sorry, there was a" at the start of it. (To be fair, "Save changes to XYZ?" is not a complete sentence either, but it's a well-worn contraction of one.)
The main problem with the second string is that it says "something went wrong" but not what. If there's no way of telling *what* went wrong, that sentence can't do anything and should be removed. A secondary problem is that the string doesn't tell me what I should do now. Should I try again, or should I give up? If I should try again, when should I try? In a few minutes? Tomorrow?
