unix is better with unicode filenames, indeed
-
nikki_
why does the number of bumps matter for letters like n and m
-
_mo
that's silly
-
intgr
warp: that's generally old legacy DOS stuff nobody uses these days
-
_mo
I've never herad of any differnce betwener - & —
-
warp
intgr: legacy unix scripts or shells mostly, in my experience.
-
intgr
_mo: Well, there is a difference.
-
warp: Then the shell scripts are badly written.
-
_mo
and if its such a *grave* and *acute* difference then why havent I in my over 10 years of scoling not heard of it?
-
intgr
(Not enough quotes used)
-
warp
intgr: oh, probably :)
-
intgr
They're trivial to fix.
-
:)
-
nikki_
probably because it's not a critical thing
-
_mo
sorry but this seemes trivial to a norwegian fixing indian movie soundtrack albums
-
intgr
_mo: Well, there *is* a difference, but it's often ignored because '-' or '--' is much easier to type.
-
_mo
:)
-
nikki_
I know they're different, but I'd have to look up exactly when to use each one
-
_mo
then wh use it?
-
why make a big deal of what ins't by your own words
-
intgr
-
_mo
you might as well add dots after each tracktitle :p
-
nikki_
I'm not making a big deal of it
-
dseomn
intgr: '--' pretty much is an emdash
-
_mo
I'm not saying that ^^
-
nikki_
but the proper way to write what's represented by '--' is with an em-dash
-
_mo
what I'm gettign is: *what* is that?
-
intgr
dseomn: Yeah, it's commonly used in place of an em-dash.
-
nikki_
that dash thing
-
—
-
_mo
arg
-
WHY you se it instead? whats the differnce? what does it signafy=
-
?
-
use not you see o_O
-
dseomn
- indicates two words put together
-
nikki_
people use '--' because we don't have '—' on our keyboard
-
dseomn
emdash indicates two clauses/phrases put together
-
nikki_
in the same way they leave off accents and use " and '
-
_mo
nikki: I *know* that
-
nikki_
I don't understand then.
-
_mo
look at dseomn. he explained
-
ok
-
dseomn
also, - is never grouped with another -, but emdash can be
-
nikki_
but you wanted to know why it was such a big deal that the guy was changing it, from how I understood it.
-
_mo
so this is two names.. are they seen as two different prhases?
-
no what the deal with it in the firstplave was
-
place
-
dseomn
e.g. foo went to the theater(emdash)the one of park street(emdash)and I went home
-
_mo
uhuh. so isntead of a comma then
-
nikki_
instead of brackets, I think
-
dseomn
emdashes are more stark though
-
_mo
it doesn't aply i nthe mod example
-
stark?
-
nikki_ was wondering that
-
dseomn
they're really only used that way in poetry and really colloquial writing
-
_mo
I see
-
dseomn
stark = it provides emphasis
-
_mo
so my point about the trackname?
-
ok
-
than kyou dseomn
-
dseomn
np
-
nikki_ idly goes off topic and notes that some languages use em-dashes for speech
-
Shepard
hm stark in german is strong
-
nikki_
ah
-
I knew it was a german word...
-
_mo
in .no its sterk

-

-
Shepard
«these» <- french, right?
-
nikki_

-
dseomn
_mo: “american” or ‘american’
-
_mo

-

dseomn
Shepard: I thought it was »french«
