Bundled themes: Incorrect punctuation for the comment preview string ($moderation_note)

[llizard]

In the Twenty Twelve theme, the punctuation for the comment preview string of $moderation_note is incorrect.

This is the coding in the functions file for the twentytwelve theme:

$commenter = wp_get_current_commenter();
				if ( $commenter['comment_author_email'] ) {
					$moderation_note = __( 'Your comment is awaiting moderation.', 'twentytwelve' );
				} else {
					$moderation_note = __( 'Your comment is awaiting moderation. This is a preview, your comment will be visible after it has been approved.', 'twentytwelve' );
				}

It is possible that other WP themes' functions files have something similar, because when I searched "This is a preview, your comment will be visible after it has been approved", various WP Twenty Something themes appeared (recent ones as well as this earlier twentytwelve).

I have been unable to discover how to change the wording within my own Twenty Twelve child theme's functions file. (I have asked for help on this on two occasions but it appears that anyone looking in the WP forums doesn’t know the answer either.)

Therefore, in the next update of WP themes Twenty Twelve (and whichever of the Twenty series themes the phrase occurs), please correct the punctuation in the following string

"This is a preview, your comment will be visible after it has been approved."

Please note that the comma after 'preview' does not belong. The sentence should read:

This is a preview; your comment will be visible after it has been approved.

OR

This is a preview – your comment will be visible after it has been approved.

OR

This is a preview. Your comment will be visible after it has been approved.

Of course, it may seem like a small thing to have to fix, but grammar teachers will be most appreciative if it is corrected at last. As would I. Thank you.

Punctuation Error Corrected - Twenty Twenty Theme

[llizard]

Unfortunately, in the recent (August 2020) update of WP's twentytwelve theme, this grammatical error has still not been corrected.

To reiterate, please note that the comma does not belong after preview in the string This is a preview, your comment will be visible after it has been approved. The string should read:

This is a preview; your comment will be visible after it has been approved.

OR

This is a preview – your comment will be visible after it has been approved.

OR

This is a preview. Your comment will be visible after it has been approved.

Please fix this.
