Hi there!
I'll get started on that now. If you (or anyone else who reads this) knows of any subtitles I've missed, add a comment on this ticket if you'd like (I'll add it).
Thanks 🙂

Flint and Steel when a Subtitle is currently Flint and Steel Click when it should be Flint and Steel Clicks
Hello!
@unknown I added that. Thanks!

No Worries. If I find any more I'll make sure to comment them.

Shouldn't Respawn Anchor be changed to Respawn Anchor is Charging instead of Respawn Anchor
Hi!
Oops! 😞 I fixed it.

Why the "Fishing Bobber" to "Bobber" change? "Fishing Bobber" is the name of the entity involved, not "Bobber".
Hello!
The other Fishing Bobber subtitles are just "Bobber {action}". Do you think it would be better as "Fishing Bobber {action}" for all of them? Or is there a difference between Bobber and Fishing Bobber and it is correct as it is?

No difference, they should follow the entity name.
Hi there!
Okay, I fixed it. Thanks! 🙂

I have a new one for you to add. When a zombie villager converts back to a villager the current subtitle it Zombie Villager vociferates when it should be Zombie Villager vociferated
Hello again, thanks! I'll add it in a few minutes.
Edit: After discussion in Discord, we've decided not to make this change to the report.

I got 3 new subtitles for you. When you equip a chest on a Donkey, Mule or Llama it says Mule/Donkey/Llama Chest equips when it should be Chest equipped on Mule/Donkey/Llama
Can confirm in 21w03a.
Can confirm in 21w05a.

Confirmed for "Flint and Steel click" in 21w06a.
Edit: Never mind, that version is already there.

Someone made a post about the subtitle "Something fell" being in past tense rather than present tense in MC-221696. Is this valid?
Can confirm in 21w15a.

Can confirm in 1.17 and 1.17.1 Pre-release 1.

Also affects the new subtitle from 1.19-pre1: subtitles.item.bucket.fill_tadpole

Affects 1.19

Can confirm in 1.19.2.
I don't think the "Block broken" subtitle is intended. All subtitles are normally written in present tense, which leads me to believe that MC-194948 was incorrectly fixed by making paintings, item frames, and leads use past tense (the word "broken") instead of making the "Block broken" subtitle present tense. I'll mention this within the report shortly.
There's a lot of weird inconsistencies with subtitle tense (e.g. the subtitle of a mob on fire being put out compared to a block of fire being put out, and the llama decoration subtitle) so it might be best to compile a lot of such incorrect tense subtitles in this ticket.
