      The Bug:

      The "datapackFailure.title" string is missing an article and always pluralizes the word "pack".

      For a bit of context, there are three articles within the English language. These are "a", "an", and "the". Articles are used before nouns. Considering that articles are present throughout many other strings within the game, this introduces an inconsistency.

      With the word "datapacks" always being pluralized, this is an issue because when the value before the given noun is "1", the noun's plural form is used instead of its singular one, therefore making the string grammatically incorrect in some cases.

      Affected String:

      Before reading the table, please note the following:

      • Words colored in GREEN are correct.
      • Words colored in RED are incorrect.
