these are pretty nitpicky, but a recent training showed some stumbling blocks. i don't
feel strongly about any of these.

either make it "choose one" and "choose multiple" or "select one" and "select multiple".
might also be clearer to say "radio button" or "checkboxes"

numeric feels awkward. maybe number? 

media is vague. but understood that 'image/video/audio' is awkward. maybe split them
into different options?

Choose vs Select I'd worded intentionally but if a plurality of people agree then I don't feel strongly about it. I dislike technical terms like radio buttons/checkboxes, though.

Splitting media is possible but would require careful handling to avoid breaking old forms.

I'm interested in taking this on. Where would I start?

[issa-tseng]

I think @lognaturel and I probably need to discuss best options here before any actual work is done, but you shouldn't need to look any further than the view template in server/views, and possibly public/javascripts/controls.js.

Low prio, just reviewing open issues for low hanging fruit.

@yanokwa: you mention some labels could be changed at https://github.com/getodk/build/pull/144#issuecomment-303596890. @issa-tseng also mentions help text in https://github.com/getodk/build/issues/136. Also pinging @lognaturel for a keen eye on wording.

Are there any changes we could integrate in the 0.4.* releases?
