4 people spent hours putting our repo back together at my company after this. GH has been unreliable and now they are breaking the core tenant of what I expect from this service.

- ragall 7mo agoI don't care to associate with people who are offended by being corrected. They can sod off. And I never go to what you Americans call "parties".
- MarkMarine 7mo agoThis type of pedantry doesn’t add to the discussion. You’re correcting someone’s spelling on the internet, it’s pointless except to make you feel superior, adds nothing. Make a salient point, bring something to the discussion please. Sorry I hurt your feelings bud.
- ragall 7mo agoYou didn't hurt my feelings, buddy. And if you don't understand what I did and why... pity.
- chylex 7mo agoYes it does. The original commenter can learn how to spell better which makes clear communication easier, and don't forget that other people read internet discussions and they may be learning new words or realizing they also didn't know how to spell a word correctly. You seem offended at the prospect of people learning how to do something correctly, I don't get it.
- firelizzard 7mo agoMarkMarine, the person you responded to, is the original commenter. I agree with your point but clearly MarkMarine has no interest in learning how to communicate well.
- chylex 7mo agoI actually missed that, that makes the whole thing even funnier. Reacting this way to being corrected is almost as embarrassing as GitHub breaking merges :p
- ptdorf 7mo agoYou guys are all ugly and you smell.
- firelizzard 7mo agoThe point is to communicate more effectively and efficiently and reduce miscommunication. Using the wrong word is a great way to be misunderstood, especially when communicating with people from other cultures.
- ThePrimeagen 7mo ago> And I never go to what you Americans call "parties". Whenever you use quotes and they are directly followed by punctuation you must include the punctuation within the quotes. "parties."
- ragall 7mo agoThat's the American style, and it's stupid.
- ilyasok 7mo agoIt's English, my fair cross-dressing sweaty nerd. Go read a book for once in your lifetime. Harry Potter at the very least. “The best,” replied Severus Snape. -- Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, p.1
- dariusve 7mo agoI recommend this book: Rebel with a Clause: Tales and Tips from a Roving Grammarian by Ellen Jovin
- petepete 7mo ago'I'm going to the library', said Hermione. You put the punctuation where it makes sense. If it belongs to the quote, it goes inside. If it belongs to the sentence, it goes outside.
- ragall 7mo agoYou clearly have no idea what you're talking about.
- numpad0 7mo agoliterally an edge case for parsers and a technical debt
- firelizzard 7mo agoThat is a level of pedantry that I find pointless. Using the wrong word can lead to miscommunication. Omitting a comma can completely change the meaning of a sentence. Moving punctuation inside or outside of quotes? Makes no real difference.
