Small error - Forcing uninstall uses wrong jargon

Description

I'm forcing an uninstall of a port that will break other dependent ports. In the last line of the following quote from the terminal, the words "dependencies" should be "dependents".

This is what comes up: 

--->  Uninstalling MY_PORT
Note: It is not recommended to uninstall/deactivate a port that has dependents as it breaks the dependents.
The following ports will break:
PORT_1
PORT_2
...
Continue? [y/N]: y
Warning: Uninstall forced.  Proceeding despite dependencies.

Well, it's not wrong from a certain point of view, but I can see that it might be confusing. The "dependencies" referred to are the dependencies that the dependent ports have on the port being uninstalled.
