 ## Errors shown when invalid search input is encountered.
-## Text wrapped in `backticks` is literal search input, and should generally be preserved unaltered as should be the backticks themselves.
-## It's ok to change quotes which aren't wrapped in backticks however, eg:
+## Backticks change the text formatting, so please don't change the backticks.
+## Text inside backticks should not be changed unless noted.
+## It's ok to change quotes outside of backticks however, eg:
 ## "`{ $context }`" => 「`{ $context }`」
