 * Combines each given item into a noun series sentence fragment. It does this
 * in a way that supports i18n by giving context and punctuation to the locale
 * functions.
 *
 * **Examples:**
 *
 * - `["A", "B"] => "A and B"`
 * - `["A", "B", "C"] => "A, B, and C"`
 *
 * **Why only nouns?**
 *
 * Some languages need a bit more context to translate other series.
