Steps to reproduce this
Snippet:
function setup() {
let v = createVector(1,2);
let w = createVector(1,2,3);
v.add(w);
print(v.toString());
}
The output is:
When working with two vectors of different sizes, the smaller dimension is used. In this operation, both vector will be treated as 2D vectors, and any additional values of the linger vector will be ignored.
vector[2, 4]
It doesn't include the number of the line that caused the issue (line 4 here), and there are two spelling errors: "both vector" should be "both vectors", and "the linger vector" should be "the longer vector"

Research direction
Run the supplied p5.js sketch with mismatched 2D and 3D vectors and inspect the Friendly Errors handling for the resulting warning. Trace how the warning is generated and how the source line is reported. Done means the warning identifies the triggering line and corrects “both vector” and “linger vector” to the reported wording.
