The Bug:
The "Sneak 100" advancement description doesn't contain a serial comma where appropriate.
For a bit of context, a serial comma is a comma used after the penultimate item in a list of three or more items, typically before the words "and", or "or". For example within the sentence, "We went to the store and bought wheat, carrots, potatoes, and beetroots.", the serial comma is the comma present right after the word "potatoes".
Minecraft's source language, (which is English, United States), commonly makes use of this comma, and since it's present within several other strings throughout the game, this introduces an inconsistency.
Below is a table I've constructed that highlights this error and shows the inconsistency here. You can find information about what the current and expected string is and would be, some context regarding it, and a link to the appropriate string on crowdin.
