String Methods concept & Little Sister's Essay exercise - confusing sentences

In the introduction of the Little Sister’s Essay concept exercise, the third paragraph contains this confusing sentence:

They can be concatenated using the + operator or via <string>.join(<iterable>) and implement all common sequence operations.

I think this could be fixed by splitting up the sentence or adding parentheses. Example of parentheses addition:

They can be concatenated (using the + operator or via <string>.join(<iterable>)) and they implement all common sequence operations.

A similar problem is present in the “About String Methods” section of the concept:

They can be concatenated with +, or via <str>.join(<iterable>), split via <str>.split(<separator>), and offer multiple formatting and assembly options.

I think a similar parentheses addition or sentence splitting would help with this as well. Example:

They can be concatenated (with + or via <str>.join(<iterable>)), split via <str>.split(<separator>), and offer multiple formatting and assembly options.

Hi @Yrahcaz7,

This has been tweaked/fixed. Thanks for reporting. :slightly_smiling_face:
