Comma splice in error message string

The Bug

The following string contains a grammatical error, specifically, a comma splice.

temp\common_loc.js:77

Expected Behaviour

The string should be grammatically correct.

Details

Incorrect (Current) String Text:

Statistics couldn't load, please try again or check your internet connection.

Corrected String Text:

Statistics couldn't load. Please try again or check your internet connection.

Explanation:

The comma should be converted to a period, and the P capitalized to match.

This is due to English grammar rules, where commas cannot separate independent clauses. (This error is known as a “comma splice” or “comma fault”.)

Changing the comma to a semicolon (without capitalizing the p) would also be grammatically correct, but would be inconsistent with similar strings.
