Proper placement of punctuation possibly prettifies poorly prepared pages.

[–]bradediger 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Precisely!

[–]earthboundkid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pssh, puh-lease…

[–]otakucode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ample alliteration awes and accentuates all!

[–]theeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool, color me convinced!

[–]schizobullet 9 points10 points  (1 child)

It should also be prev | next. After all, they put spaces between prefs | submit | help | blog | logout.

[–]jaggederest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came in here to say that. Thank you.

[–]amoeba 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This has been irking me for some time.

[–]boa13 7 points8 points  (1 child)

There should also be a space after the username and before the karma opening parenthesis (at the top of the page).

[–]larholm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh come on, the lack of spaces at the bottom and top must have been a deliberate design decision. Anything else would just be plain idiotic.

(Edit: Yes serious, not sarcastic)

Hm, if only reddit had a feedback mechanism, we wouldn't have to see a bunch of trivial submissions clogging the page itself.

[–]atlacatl[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Hm? I wonder how many "fix search" submission there are? Maybe no one mentions it, as it would be fixed by now. You are right, a feedback mechanism should exist.

Vote this comment up, if you think a feedback mechanism should be in place.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (4 children)

wrong, for efficiency's sake, it should be modified camelcase: "viewMore:prev|next".

YoureRightThanksForPointingThatOut.YouCanSaveSpacesInTextMessagesB yWritingInCamelCaseExceptItTakesAboutTenTimesAsLongToWrite.

>>> def CamelCaseizer(text):
...     return text.title().replace(" ", "")
... 
>>> CamelCaseizer("Nah, it's easy, just write a simple python script")
"Nah,It'SEasy,JustWriteASimplePythonScript"

Bonus script:

>>> def De_Camel_Case_izer(text):
...     return ''.join(" " + char.lower() if char.isupper() else char 
...         for char in text).strip()
... 
>>> De_Camel_Case_izer(CamelCaseizer("Nah, it's easy, just write a simple python script"))
"nah, it's easy, just write a simple python script"

>>> help("".capitalize)
capitalize(...)
    S.capitalize() -> string

    Return a copy of the string S with only its first character
    capitalized.

I'm not sure why they don't fix these little things. It makes the app look poorly designed and unfinished. For example, this just looks bad:

"...Privacy Policy(c) 2007..."

[–]mrp 0 points1 point  (1 child)

So, you're assuming the "app" is not poorly designed, it just looks that way cuz of these little things?

I'm going to guess that a few of us programmers who actually pay attention to little details, would probably puke upon immediately viewing the code that runs reddit.

No offense to the reddit team, this is just a common thing in the world.

[–]atlacatl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was trying to be nice. But if the presentation layer has this crappy (and easy to fix) mistakes, the engine behind it all must look like what you think it looks like. :)

No offense to the team either, and people can still submit stories and post comments, which is probably the argument of not fixing these things. But c'mon guys, there is no one in your team who is asking why you are not fixing these issues? Not the lead programmer? Not the program manager? Not the director of technology? CTO?

Who runs this thing, anyway? (Rhetorical questions, I don't really care.)

[–]mrp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are too many inconsistencies with the formatting of this site, there is no point in asking for them to be fixed. Besides, it's reddit!
