-This query will fail if the string contains quotation marks or backslashes (assuming these characters are not JSON escaped). Another potential issue involves leading and terminal separators. However, developing a universal string-splitting SQL script is impractical. Instead, the script functionality should match reasonable assumptions about the input format for a specific use case.
+This query will fail if the string contains quotation marks or backslashes (assuming these characters are not JSON escaped). Another potential issue involves leading and trailing separators. However, developing a universal string-splitting SQL script is impractical. Instead, the script functionality should match reasonable assumptions about the input format for a specific use case.
 
 For instance, let's improve the script to
 
  - split path-like variables (both Linux and Windows styles),
- - handle leading/terminal value separator,
+ - handle leading/trailing value separator,
  - handle doubled value separators (such as ";;"),
- - normalize all paths by stripping leading/terminal path separators,
+ - normalize all paths by stripping leading/trailing path separators,
  - convert any backslashes to slashes.
