In your existing Death tags, go into the Tag Entry screen and look beside
the Sentence button. If the Sentence appears there, this means that you
have edited it differently from the default at the time. Then when you
make the change as in your message above, there will be no change to those
tags that have been individually edited in some way. But if the space
beside the Sentence button on the Tag Entry Screen is blank, the change to
the Sentence in the Tag Type List should take effect.

Hope this helps -
