Hello Pavel, thanks for comment. I updated the patch as you proposed.
I did quick research on usage of smaller/lower/lesser and all seem to for
correct for our case, but I agree that lower might sound more common.
Hi,
I am not a native speaker but lesser sounds quite strange in this sentence. But I admit it
may be my personal opinion and it can be grammatically correct (smaller sounds good to me
as well).
On the other hand the first sentence I proposed and that you chose for your patch (entry
expires) seems strange to me as well and I suggested it anyway. I would personally pick
"entry gets expired/becomes expired/is expired" but I think "expires"
is grammatically correct here and it is shorter. Any native speaker wants to chime in
here? :-)
