I guess there is no particular reason not to change this message if its
current wording really bothers some people, however I would like to point
out that it is not a grammar mistake. A grammar mistake is when you say,
for instance, "I will buy a house when I will be rich". If you use the
wrong tense and just end up not saying what you should have said or
wanted to say, you have screwed up, not made a grammar mistake.
Incidentally, one amusing property of this mailing list is that every
time someone complained about a point of grammar, there was at least one
glaring error in the plaintiff's message.

Otherwise, the file you're looking for is DEFAULT.MAILTPL in
