 * my comment button underneath the title of each post has a “%s” before the word“
   comment”.
 * So it looks like: (word bubble) %s comment
 * How do I get rid of the “%s”?

 * Let’s not go there if you don’t know how to do it. First, check with that “someone
   else”.

 * If you don’t understand PHP, messing with the files could be a problem.
 * Let’s start this way: Disable ALL plugins and change the theme to twentysixteen.
   Is the problem gone? If so, re-enable things one at a time until the problem 
   returns. Then we know on what to focus.
