Is this proper English?
 

I don't mean to disrespect anyone and I am dyslexic myself.

However in the message center these phrases don't read as proper English to me -

There is no new message. Should it not be 'There are no new messages'

There is no new request. Should it not be 'There are no new requests'

Etc. or is it just me?

I tried searching the text directly in the phrase manager but was returned with no results.
