From TFA: ‘Highlights automatically surfaces directions for a location’
Is that a mistype? In an apple advertisement? Regardless, the whole thing feels like it has been written by a high school student. Try reading the following without wincing:
‘A redesigned Reader allows users to read articles more quickly with a streamlined view, a summary, and a table of contents, and a new Viewer helps users put videos front and center while still giving them full access to system playback controls.’
- paulrudy 2y ago"From TFA: ‘Highlights automatically surfaces directions for a location’ Is that a mistype? In an apple advertisement?" "Highlights" as a singular brand/product/whatever name. Like saying "Postmates delivers stuff"
- Daub 2y agoI understand that, but even so the sentence makes no sense. I assumed that they meant to write: ‘Highlights automatically searches directions for a location’. Pardon my pedantry, but how is it possible to ‘surface’ a direction. Am I missing something? My point stands… the quality of writing in this article is very poor: overly long sentences, clunky information reveal etc. it feels more like a first draft.
- kstrauser 2y agoIt “surfaces”, as in “reveals”. Yeah, the wording could’ve been a lot clearer there, but it’s actually correct. Let me try a hand at it: > The new Highlights feature easily reveals directions to the addresses mentioned on a web page.
