The word "towards" within the `options.vignette.tooltip` string isn't spelled in American English

The Bug:

The word "towards" within the options.vignette.tooltip string isn't spelled in American English.

This string is the tooltip of the "Show Vignette" option in the video settings. Minecraft's source language, which is English (United States), spells words in American English. However, the word "towards" within this string isn't spelled in American English. It should be spelled as "toward" instead of "towards", as both the Microsoft Style Guide and the Apple Style Guide say to use "toward", not "towards". The same problem was fixed for the words "forwards" and "backwards" in MC-273822, and for the words "whilst" and "burnt" in MC-252295 and MC-252316.

Affected String(s):

Before reading the table, please note the following:

  • Characters colored in GREEN are correct.

  • Characters colored in RED are incorrect.
