 **BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:**
 
 -  :doc:`/scripts/csvclean` now writes its output to standard output and its errors to standard error, instead of to ``basename_out.csv`` and ``basename_err.csv`` files. Consequently:
 
-   -  The :code:`--dry-run` option is removed. The :code:`--dry-run` option changed error output from the CSV format used in ``basename_err.csv`` files to ``Line 1: Expected 2 columns, found 3 columns`` messages.
+   -  The :code:`--dry-run` option is removed. The :code:`--dry-run` option changed error output from the CSV format used in ``basename_err.csv`` files to a prosaic format like ``Line 1: Expected 2 columns, found 3 columns``.
    -  Summary information like ``No errors.``, ``42 errors logged to basename_err.csv`` and ``42 rows were joined/reduced to 24 rows after eliminating expected internal line breaks.`` is not written.
 
 -  :doc:`/scripts/csvclean` no longer reports or fixes errors by default; it errors if no checks or fixes are enabled. Opt in to the original behavior using the :code:`--length-mismatch` and :code:`--join-short-rows` options. See new options below.
