"Something fell" is grammatically inconsistent with similar subtitles
The bug
When you fall fewer than eight blocks, the subtitle is "Something trips". If you fall eight or more blocks, it says "Something fell". This is inconsistent grammar; they should either be "Something falls" and "Something trips" or "Something fell" and "Something tripped". To be consistent with most other subtitles, "Something fell" should be changed to "Something falls"
Steps to reproduce
In survival mode with subtitles on:
- Fall 4 blocks. Notice "Something trips".

- Fall 10 blocks. Notice "Something fell".
