I guess, it was its length (as opposed to the short one liners), that made me consider that it might be worth saving, and editing for clarity (Although, yes, a lot of speak, but nothing said comes to mind). Apologies. | |

Added third issue.

If, as it should be, previous brand name conventions are adhered to, then no confusion should arise. | |
| Jun 14, 2017 at 1:03 | comment | added | Greenonline | @Mokubai - You could call it pedantic, although I prefer to say clear :-) I have seen posts where people are all over the place, sometimes (although rarely) even calling classic Mac OS OSX, which can cause all sorts of confusion. I just feel that as SE is a renowned, and respected, source of information, it is a good idea to remain consistent and clear in the information provided, which at times may call for seemingly pedantic edits. The posted inconstancies may be due, in part, to the public's confusion as to where Apple stand on their naming. Here, the OP employed 3 different terms. | |
| Jun 14, 2017 at 0:48 | comment | added | Greenonline | @Ramhound - Rock and hard place, come to mind :) In past when I submitted a screenshot of a rejected edit with the names in full view, I was told not to, and had the image edited. I also provided the link, as someone was bound to comment that the link should have been provided, if I had not. I was merely trying to "not call people out", as I emphasised in my post. However, obviously, through the link, the transparency of the system will show who the reviewers were. I changed macOS/MacOS (yet more inconsistency) to OSX, not the other way around. Yes, the answer should have been a comment. | |
| Jun 13, 2017 at 17:33 | comment | added | Ramhound | @Greenonline - Is there a particular reason you attempted to mask the other editors of this edit? Anyone who can review the edit, can see whom, the other editors were. The review system offers complete transparency for a reason. As for the edit, by switching OS X to macOS, you change what author has said. I would also argue that the answer wasn't worth saving in the first place, the answer itself is a comment, incorrectly submitted as an answer. | |

| Jun 13, 2017 at 17:00 | comment | added | Mokubai Mod | If you were being pedantic about MacOS being for "old" Macs and OS X being for new Macs, then Apple themselves made it wrong to call it OS X when they rebranded. That being said, the typo could do with being fixed, but the rest... not so much. | |

Harmful is a bit harsh, but what I mean is vaguely unconstructive. Everyone who has used a computer for a long while has known that Macs use a "Mac" OS, be it OS X or MacOS. Recently Apple decided to rebrand their desktop OS as macOS in line with iOS and (presumably) brainOS when they get their mitts on neural augmentation systems. Transmuting macOS to OS X is superfluous because everyone already knew exactly what was being talked about, there really was very little confusion regarding what was being asked unless you were being pedantic in the extreme.

Fixed typo

| Jun 13, 2017 at 16:19 | comment | added | Greenonline | @Mokubai - I'm not quite sure what you mean about "harmful"... the OP is referring to an issue on OSX, and not MacOS. Ok, I agree about the rest of the edit being tenuous. | |
| Jun 13, 2017 at 16:15 | comment | added | Mokubai Mod | You shouldn't be replacing MacOS with OS X as the product line has effectively been renamed. That makes most of your edit "harmful" and the remaining edit is a minor spelling correction. Overall your edit feels too superfluous to be useful. See meta.superuser.com/questions/12014/… | |
