Options-permalink.php contains a sentence that needs a semicolon and a
comma wrapped around the word "however."
{{{By default WordPress uses web URLs which have question marks and lots
of numbers in them, however WordPress offers you the ability to create a
custom URL structure for your permalinks and archives.}}}
Should be
{{{By default WordPress uses web URLs which have question marks and lots
of numbers in them; however, WordPress offers you the ability to create a
custom URL structure for your permalinks and archives.}}}
A good summary of the proper uses of "however" and semicolons can be found
[http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/104864/use-of-a-semicolon-
before-and-comma-after-however here]. It looks like this error has been in
place since 2004 ([1664]).
In short, the semicolon is needed in addition to the comma to help bridge
the two clauses of the sentence.
