Everytime I see this message, it makes my brain think...because I automatically read it as "You have started writing or editing a post. Press OK to continue..." and it puts me in the mode of "OK to continue writing or editing this post" (e.g. continue staying on the page, instead of continuing with navigating away from the page)...but once I remember what the thing is for and re-read it, I generally get the right outcome...(probably not a bad idea to get my brain going)

But I've worked with Javascript and this event and know that the text at the top and the bottom is not specified by the website but by the browser...and that it's the only event that can actually cancel a user navigating away...so there isn't really much else of a solution to actually cancel the navigation event...

Does anyone else have problems interpreting this dialog with the SO text? Could it be re-worded...it's probably just me (apologies in advance)

**edit**  

the first answer with a different browser perfectly makes sense to me...i'll just switch browsers perhaps!
