| Jan 27, 2016 at 14:26 | comment | added | Ramhound | Yes; I am a perfectionist in many ways, so yes I am being pedantic, that doesn't disturb me in the slightest. Don't understand your reprimanded comment, the question wasn't even closed, nor close to being closed, at any point time. Even if it was closed its no big deal, you fix the problem, and the question is opened again. | |
| Jan 27, 2016 at 13:58 | comment | added | Ramhound | Who reprimanded you exactly? I thought you want to hear our opinion on the matter? I gave you my opinion on the reason I thought your original revision, was indeed asking for a learning recommendation, not sure the reason you have such hostility towards me. | |
| Jan 27, 2016 at 1:50 | comment | added | jordanbtucker | It's also contradictory to reprimand me for forgetting a question mark, which you say caused users to miss the question, and then presume that I'm asking a different question when I use question marks on the questions I'm really asking. | |
| Jan 27, 2016 at 1:47 | comment | added | jordanbtucker | This question was not about why the community thought I was asking for learning recommendations. I only asked two questions (both using question marks) and neither of them were about learning recommendations. And again, you're being pedantic about the question mark. If you can't recognize a question from a sentence that starts with "what" but omits the question mark, then your reading skills are more the problem than the slight grammar mistake. It's pretty important in this internet age to be able to makes sense of poorly written emails, text messages, and internet forum posts. | |
| Jan 27, 2016 at 1:27 | comment | added | Ramhound | Its not a rule. Its just proper writing. The title is important, it provides us underline context, but the body of the question is the most important part. I took this question as you wanting to understand, why the community, thought you were asking for a learning recommendation. How are we suppose to know what is a question, without a question mark, its the only indication we have what you wrote is a question. If you only just realized, there were two questions, how were we suppose to know it was a question? | |
| Jan 27, 2016 at 1:01 | comment | added | jordanbtucker | I just realized that there were two questions in there, the first one just didn't end in a question mark: "I mean, what is the maximum size of individual files that will be cached by the latest versions of the major desktop browsers (i.e. Firefox, Chrome, IE/Edge)." | |
| Jan 27, 2016 at 0:57 | comment | added | jordanbtucker | Another new rule I haven't heard: "You incorrectly used the title of the question as a beginning sentence to your question." I still don't see how someone who carefully read my question would conclude that I was only asking for documentation. It seems like the arguments for why my question was poorly posed are rather pedantic. It sounds like I would have been better off just leaving the question at "What is the maximum file size that will be cached by a browser?" | |
