THIS, FOR EXAMPLE. IT IS MUCH MORE REPRESENTATIVE OF HOW ANNOYING IT IS TO READ THAN A SINGLE CAPITALIZATION OF that.

- Wowfunhappy 11mo agoBut again, if that is what the guideline is referring to, why does it say "If you want to emphasize a _word or phrase_". By my reading, it is quite explicitly including single words!
- versteegen 11mo agoImagine I capitalised a whole selection of specific words in this sentence for emphasis, how annoying that would be to read. I'll spare you. That is what the guideline is about, not one single instance.
- fabbbbb 11mo agoWhich exact part of the guideline makes you think so?
- Aeolun 11mo agoI’m saying that being pedantic on HN is a worse sin than capitalizing a single word. Being technically correct isn’t really relevant to how annoying people think you are being.
- skylurk 11mo agoI come here for the rampant pedantry. It's the legalism no one wants.
