most of the rest of the world still type it as Rammstein :)

and someone will argue “why are you correcting the spelling, everyone knows the artist ment to right that word, nobody cares about this stuff I wasnt even tot that in school”

2013-05-28 14859, 2013

because it makes it so that you don't have a point
2013-05-28 14804, 2013

make a proper argument please

CatQuest: My point is just that we have to set the bar somewhere on the spectrum from 'allow everything' to 'only specific precise tight guidelines'
2013-05-28 14847, 2013
hawke_1
And no place on that spectrum will make everyone happy
2013-05-28 14805, 2013
CatQuest
and my point is that "correct to "archaic" typography for english is wrong"
2013-05-28 14813, 2013
hawke_1
and in the future yes, common usage will probably loosen it even more.
2013-05-28 14832, 2013

i hope so and this silly rule will go away. exept again for those cases where it is totally walid

as the lignua de facto I can type a sentence completely in english and mean it in norwegian

don't you mean “strings„?
2013-05-28 14837, 2013

and all titles, names etc will use them, as releases use recordings now
2013-05-28 14840, 2013

that's the thing,

does twine count as a type of string?
2013-05-28 14808, 2013
CatQuest
what the hell is twine anyway? some kind of aerican string you but into huge balls for some reason?
2013-05-28 14821, 2013

c'mon, I'm not a native English speaker, I don't know what Brits and Americans learn at school

apparently it's sort of between a thread and a string, but more properly a type of cord.
2013-05-28 14836, 2013
CatQuest
no about typograhpy I think tho
2013-05-28 14842, 2013
fractalizator
and „"strings" table“ is in SQL :)
2013-05-28 14853, 2013
CatQuest
there is a difference between thread and string outside of thickness?
2013-05-28 14831, 2013
fractalizator
then you can check just the strings, fix capitalization, set quality level, and even merge them! :)

CatQuest: there are also ropes in programming

CatQuest: twine is thread, usually made of a rougher material.

hey OT (on topic?) i tried typing the "correct" ' quote.. couldn't find it
2013-05-28 14843, 2013
CatQuest
so.. yea there is that, besides not knowing what is right, it's really hard to do
2013-05-28 14853, 2013
hawke_1
that’s why it’s optional
2013-05-28 14838, 2013
CatQuest
While I *could* if I wanted to, still do accents, ëh? And proper capitalisation no problem.
2013-05-28 14808, 2013
CatQuest
but it makes me wonder, why are you going through so much troulbeto get the arcaic " ' " right?
2013-05-28 14818, 2013
CatQuest
’ is it?
2013-05-28 14822, 2013
CatQuest
why?

the opposite of "typographically correct" is not "incorrect". It's more like "less rich semantically".
2013-05-28 14800, 2013
CatQuest
ah yes!
2013-05-28 14821, 2013

but the opposite of "correct capitalisation" is "wrong capitalisation"
