The Bug:
Several strings throughout the game contain comma splices.
For a bit of context, a comma splice is when an instance of a comma is used to link two independent clauses, (an independent clause is a clause that can form a complete sentence standing alone). The use of a comma splice is grammatically incorrect and should instead be replaced with a colon, semicolon, conjunction, or a period/full stop.

h3. Steps to Reproduce:
Display any of the affected strings as listed above by using the command provided below and replacing "XYZ" with the string's translation key.
/tellraw @s {"translate":"XYZ"}Look closely at how the comma is used within the said string.
Observed Behavior:
Comma splices are present.
Expected Behavior:
No comma splices would be present. All instances of this grammatical error should instead be replaced with a colon, semicolon, conjunction, or a period/full stop.
