Description

This PR improves the grammar in the file header comment of src/wp-includes/plugin.php.

Change Made:
Removed an awkward comma from the line:

  • Before: "and filters and hooking functions, and methods."
  • After: "and filters and hooking functions and methods."

Why:
The comma placement was grammatically incorrect and made the sentence harder to read. This improves clarity for developers reading the plugin API documentation.

Testing:

  • No code changes - documentation comment only
  • No functional impact
  • File syntax remains valid

Note: A corresponding Trac ticket should be created at https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ for this PR to be considered for merging. Please add the ticket number using: Fixes: #[TICKET_NUMBER]

Fix typo in plugin API documentation.

Removing the comma makes this worse.
