Changing ‘leave a reply” on line 1540 works for me.
@ drumelt, Why is it better to use a filter? What is the advantage?
The advantage is that you have not changed the core WordPress file, so that your changes will not be erased by an update.
I like that idea. Can I do that right from my Dashboard area?
I’ve been modifying everything in my index file on my own server every time I update.
I am a total noob and it worked for me. I’m using Twenty-Ten theme.
Look for ‘title_reply’ in the $defaults array section
around line 1541 of comment-template.php in the wp-includes directory
‘title_reply’ => __( ‘Invite me to dinner’ ),
Works like a charm.
Thanks for the suggestions!

LOOK here
you should edit“ /wp-includes/comment-template.php”
imho – wrong.
there are quite a few reason why you should not edit wp core files; being safe for upgrades is only one.
for most problems, there are solutions without doing this.
you can change those fields by editing the parameters in comment_form() which you likely find in comments.php

alchymyth is right,
In your comment template within your theme look for comment_form(); and between the brackets pass in an associative array with your new title like the example below: –
comment_form(array('title_reply'=>'Leave a Comment'));
You can also pass in other custom options or arguments as they are known in the programming world (listed here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/comment_form )
example below: the title and submit button have been changed.
comment_form(array('title_reply'=>'Leave a Comment', 'label_submit'=>'Submit Me'));
Whatever you do, don’t edit the core wordpress files directly, as well as having problems when you update wordpress you may also make a mistake and open up security holes and cause other problems you may believe are unrelated.
Hope this clears things up…
