fricklerhandwerk | In reply to @asymmetric:matrix.dapp.org.uk wdym statistically? * A large fraction of headings is like that | 12:57:14 |
fricklerhandwerk | In reply to @asymmetric:matrix.dapp.org.uk fwiw capitalizing every important word is a known standard (e.g. APA recommends it), but i think it doesn't always look great on the web It is and I find it stupid but I may be wrong. | 12:57:39 |
asymmetric | the point of standards is not necessarily that they're the most intelligent solution out there. but point taken 😉 personally, i'm fine with going for sentence-capitalization. i'll open a pr to discuss further | 12:59:58 |
toonn | It's mostly a US - Europe divide AFAIK. | 13:16:32 |
Minijackson | the Microsoft Style Guide recommends sentence-style capitalization: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/style-guide/capitalization | 14:14:02 |
Minijackson | wasn't there some efforts recently for adding vale to nix.dev? There's a lint for that | 14:14:52 |

asymmetric | seems like they're breaking their own style guide here? | 14:53:49 |
Minijackson | oh you mean "Microsoft Style Guide" ? | 14:54:22 |
Minijackson | I guess so 😆 | 14:54:41 |
fricklerhandwerk | In reply to @asymmetric:matrix.dapp.org.uk seems like they're breaking their own style guide here? We should open a PR. (not really) | 14:57:02 |
asymmetric | i know people at microsoft, i'll call them immediately | 14:57:19 |
fricklerhandwerk | In reply to @toonn:matrix.org It's mostly a US - Europe divide AFAIK. In that case it's settled, because we already have many eurocentric conventions and I'd like to keep it consistent. | 14:58:05 |
asymmetric | settled in which direction? | 14:58:39 |
fricklerhandwerk | In reply to @asymmetric:matrix.dapp.org.uk settled in which direction? Sentence-style capitalisation | 14:58:48 |
asymmetric | lol @ capitaliSation though | 14:58:59 |
fricklerhandwerk | In reply to @asymmetric:matrix.dapp.org.uk lol @ capitaliSation though British English: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/capitalisation | 14:59:46 |
asymmetric | Oxford British would like to have a word with you though | 15:00:11 |
asymmetric | anyway, that's a separate rabbit hole, i'm out 😉 | 15:00:34 |
asymmetric | In reply to @Minijackson:matrix.org wasn't there some efforts recently for adding vale to nix.dev? There's a lint for that indeed there is https://vale.sh/docs/topics/styles/#capitalization. we should add vale | 15:12:51 |
