👍 Awesome work@xabbuh! Somewhat related to this, do you think it could be necessary to updated thedocumentation standards related to capitalization and closed-class words? Currently is just a link to a very dense Wikipedia article. |
wouterj commentedJul 23, 2014
@javiereguiluz what would you update? The text itself does say it all actually, no need to click on the link |
javiereguiluz commentedJul 23, 2014
@wouterj you are right that the standard clearly states the rule:
The problem is that, as any other "rule" related to human languages, the "closed-class word" concept seems arbitrary. In other words: Which is the simplest rule to unequivocally, and without any exception, identify a closed-class word in English? |
wouterj commentedJul 23, 2014
"a closed class (or closed word class) is a word class to which no new items can normally be added"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_class We might want to link to that wiki page instead |

Thanks Christian :). If we want to add a link to the closed class wiki, let's do it. Unfortunately, it'll never be totally clear and many people won't notice this anyways. Fortunately, it's not mission critical anyways. I've mostly been relying on@xabbuh for this - he really seems to understand it. Ideally, we'd have our own fabbot that just proposed a patch to fix your title. |

I think it's better then to not show you#3894 (comment) and#3894 (comment) 😉
You'll have a Ryanbot in 2015. However, i think it'll be hard to teach this to a bot. |
xabbuh commentedJul 29, 2014
Thanks Ryan. But yeah,@wouterj is right. There are some words or usages of words where we are not sure how to write them. Would be great to have your comment on them. :) |
