If anything I use them _less_ now thanks to this whole thing.
- turtleyacht 6mo agoYes. Defanging smart quotes, double-dashing em's, spelling out numbers, and swearing off emojis. Next up, double-spaced sentences.
- JKCalhoun 6mo agoI guess you have to choose now whether to be accused of being a Clanker or a Boomer.
- lamasery 6mo agoHTML still collapses multiple spaces, doesn't it? Does HN go out of its way to add an nbsp glyph? Typing this post the original way I learned to type, with two spaces after the end of each sentence, to see if it renders that way. Here we go! (Incidentally, I love that backlash against LLM writing has more people developing as much of an allergy to emojis and content-marketing- and personal-branding-style writing as I've long had)
- Freedom2 6mo agoA reminder that according to the HN guidelines, there's no need to use underscores or other annotations to emphasize words.
- interstice 6mo agoI'm from the Myspace/MSN generation, old habits die hard.
