The Bug:
Some strings use an ampersand instead of the word "and", unlike similar strings.
For labels or buttons names, using an ampersand is an acceptable and typographic choice, but for full sentences, it’s strange to use these symbols instead of the word “and”, therefore introducing an inconsistency.
