Moreover, breaking sentences into separate parts based on English
grammar makes translations harder and their results of worse quality.
It is better to have two complete sentences

  "Program exited normally with exit value: %d\n"

and

  "Program exited abnormally with exit value: %d\n"

even though it wastes some storage, because in languages other than
English the full sentence may not easily be broken into those 2 parts.
