 Hello, maliktunga

 Sad to see this response from WordPress.com.

 Please try the following:

 1. Open Appearance - Editor
 2. Open "Theme Footer (`footer.php`)"
 3. Locate this line (line 12):
 {{{#!php
 <a href="<?php echo esc_url( __( 'http://wordpress.org/', 'libretto' ) );
 ?>"><?php printf( esc_html__( 'Proudly powered by %s', 'libretto' ),
 'WordPress' ); ?></a>
 }}}
 4. Add a `.` (dot) to the end of that line, after `</a>`.
 5. Update file
 6. View your site

 It's not possible to fix WordPress core to make this change, but as
 demonstrated, changing a theme file fixes it.

 (To make such change survive a theme update you would have to make child
 theme and copy `footer.php`, but this is not what you want. You want the
 authors to fix it.)

 I suggest replying to the email and provide a link to this ticket.
