This originally had the same title as the article, namely, "Can’t We All be Reasonable and Speak English?"
It's apparently been edited by a mod. But why? HN's title guidelines state:
"If the original title includes the name of the site, please take it out, because the site name will be displayed after the link anyway...Otherwise please use the original title..."
I can understand an edit which moves a title in the direction of compliance with the title guidelines, but in this case, the edit actually increases the number of title guideline violations by two: It changes the title to be different from the title of the post, and it also inserts the name of the site into the title.
What's up with that?
