  • Perhaps the first one should read "You accepted this answer (click to undo).". However accepting a different answer will unaccept this one as well ... so that won't be strictly correct either ...

  • In any case the ; looks weird, the whole phrase as is doesn't look correct ... although it passes a grammar check ....

    @HolyBlackCat that one is about what actual form the tooltips take. Some are the built in mechanism of the browser via the title attribute, some are the insta-showing ones through some JS library. This is about inconsistency in the message itself of one specific tooltip - the voting one.

  • @VLAZ I mention both those issues in my question.

The examples referred in the question have been fixed. They no longer end with a period (which I think is consistent with Stacks style guide) and the acceptance tooltip now also includes a timestamp. As seen in the screenshot:
