The original title is 11 characters too long for submission.
- mikestew 4y agoI didn't ask for the original title, I asked that the title be fixed. As an example, removing "mass employee" gets under the limit and leaves a title that's a lot more clear than what's up there now. "Twitter faces lawsuit..." gets you there, several ways of shortening without losing much meaning. HN guidelines ask that the original be used. But if original is too long, we should at least try to leave something that makes sense and doesn't incorrectly flip Boolean flags.
- deathanatos 4y agoAgree w/ your point, and your suggested title. Looking at the slug, it seems like TFA might have originally butchered, and later changed the title, too.
- rickstanley 4y agoMy mistake, I read you comment erroneously. Sorry.
- mikestew 4y agoNo worries, hopefully someone benefits from the discussion as to how and why HN titles sometimes end up the way they do.
