Summary0001323: concatenation of preferences generates ambiguous grammar
DescriptionThis is w.r.t. the new attributes (in green/red).
E.g: "He is very rarely sick and strong" would, with that punctuation, mean that he is very rarely sick and very rarely strong. To mean what the game means it should be "He is very rarely sick, and strong (with a comma). Or better yet: He is strong and very rarely sick.
Or avoid double-negatives like "very rarely <something negative>" entirely, using "He is very healthy and strong"
Or substitute the 'strong' attribute with 'has large muscles' so the "and" joins two phrases: "He is very rarely sick and has large muscles" could never mean very rarely has large muscles.

Well anyway, here's a cheap bug to drive up the fixes/day numbers.

I'll add this here since it is the concatenation of the degree and description:
