Can you elaborate on why this is mildly infuriating?

[–] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 3 points 9 months ago (18 children)

Mullenweg says he always manually inputs U+2019 for the apostrophe character because "the apostrophe key on the keyboard is actually the prime mark". In the video, I search the character up, and it’s the right curly single quote, not the apostrophe. This is as infuriating as people saying "octopi", except they also have to go to an extra mile just to make this mistake. If you want me to elaborate folder, zoom in on the apostrophe in this reply.

I manually input the em dash (—) with my keyboard instead of just using the nornal dash. (-)

Alt+0151

Do you feel like that'd be a lot of trouble and that you'd never feel like wasting energy on it? I get that, but I just got used to it and don't even notice really. I just really prefer — to - in a lot of contexts.

In LaTeX, a single hyphen is just - while getting a range hyphen (the longer one) is --. I got chewed out by my graduate advisor for getting that wrong in a research paper. The difference is visibly small, but it does matter for clarity.

in a research paper

Well yeah there are contexts in which it matters. That's why I know the alt code for it. :D
