Aug 8, 2016 at 22:57 comment added Jeter-work Your changes were good, but they didn't go far enough. Shouldn't the bar be improves the post, which is achievable, not perfects the post, which is not?
Aug 6, 2016 at 14:02 comment added Ben N @CodyGray Code formatting clearly sets off file paths and commands from the surrounding punctuation because it has a visual box here, unlike italics. (Notice how the original post had included extra spaces before commas and periods to set special text apart, which is not grammatically correct.)
Aug 6, 2016 at 12:34 comment added Cody Gray "you left code-like stuff (file paths and commands) italicized, which is less than ideal formatting." Why? File paths and commands aren't actually code; monospacing them doesn't serve any functional purpose, just a semantic one. And it has a very real cost: it decreases readability. It's up to the author whether they want to use code formatting or italics, obviously, but imposing this requirement upon an editor seems completely wrong to me.
