--- Comment #2 from Adolfo Jayme <fitojb at ubuntu.com> ---
I disagree.

“Footnotes and Endnotes Settings” ⤔ first, in English you don’t pluralize
adjectival constructions, just the noun. Then, the conjunction “and” implies
you are modifying settings for both kinds of notes, when in actuality settings
apply to both kinds and you may have only one kind of notes in your document,
so the slash works better there. Third, this is much longer and will take more
space in localized versions of the software. Fourth, this creates more churn
for localizers and documenters.
