Sentence Starts With Capital Letter And Finishes With Semi-Colon Or Full-Stop

Sentences should be syntactically correct and natural as English. Every sentence should be terminated with a period, a colon, or a semi-colon, according to the context. Every sentence should be plain simple, and follow sentence case: only first word is capitalized.

If you are not sure whether a noun should be singular or plural, use plural.

Good Example:

%d objects have been saved.

Bad Example:

%d object(s) has/have been saved.

The user does not care about whether 1 object has been saved. or 1 object have been saved. as long as the user must choose which is appropriate by her own eyes. It is more important to produce readable text.

If a sentence contains an URL or a path, you should insert space between the URL or the path, so that the user can easily select it by a mouse.

Good Example:

The document is saved in /path/to/the/file .

Bad Example:

The document is saved in /path/to/the/file.
