| Feb 2, 2018 at 4:07 | comment | added | aparente001 | @MassimoOrtolano - Sure, ELL it is. Here's the new question: ell.stackexchange.com/q/155543/18523 | |
| Feb 1, 2018 at 7:49 | comment | added | Massimo Ortolano | I'm not a big fan of ELU: it's a community that struggles to reach an equilibrium, and I find the answers about word choice not particularly impressive. That's why I'm not interested in asking there (I like ELL more), but I'll happily discuss my choice of words in our chat room if you wish. | |
| Feb 1, 2018 at 7:46 | comment | added | Massimo Ortolano | @aparente001 I apologize for my brusque reply, but it was late and I don't like to be told "Check a dictionary". I work with words and I routinely check dictionaries, several times a day. I certainly make mistakes, as anyone else, and I'm happy when I see my mistakes fixed (I actually think that my posts here get too few edits, I certainly make many mistakes). | |
| Feb 1, 2018 at 7:31 | comment | added | Massimo Ortolano | @StrongBad Most of the times, I'd write "reads", but sometimes – like in this case – I'd write "recites". I don't think we should flatten out our writing style by using just the most common forms. | |
| Feb 1, 2018 at 2:00 | comment | added | StrongBad Mod | @MassimoOrtolano I like reads better than recites. I wouldn't say recites is wrong, or even unclear, but I think Americans would say reads. | |
| Jan 31, 2018 at 23:01 | comment | added | aparente001 | @MassimoOrtolano - Seeing as it's you, I will attempt to construct something useful (a little later). | |
| Jan 31, 2018 at 22:57 | comment | added | Massimo Ortolano | @aparente001 If you want to ask a question about this on ELU, please, go on. | |

| Jan 31, 2018 at 22:49 | comment | added | aparente001 | @MassimoOrtolano - Why don't you post at ELU then? I checked a dictionary to make sure of my edit. However, you apparently found a dictionary that you feel backs up your point of view. The folks at ELU will help us straighten this out! | |
| Jan 31, 2018 at 22:46 | comment | added | Massimo Ortolano | @aparente001 I'm not a native English speaker, but I choose the words carefully and I know well what to recite means. And dictionaries confirm that can be used also for texts other than poems. I'm happy to have mistakes fixed, but please don't make stylistic changes. | |
| Jan 31, 2018 at 22:39 | comment | added | aparente001 | @MassimoOrtolano - You can recite poetry, for example. Check a dictionary. If you're still in doubt -- post a question at ELU and ping me. | |
| Jan 31, 2018 at 22:20 | comment | added | Massimo Ortolano | @aparente001 Uh, what's wrong with "recites"? | |

| Jan 30, 2018 at 2:44 | comment | added | StrongBad Mod | @SSimon yes, diamond mods now have the post notice that the OP requested. | |
| Jan 30, 2018 at 2:28 | comment | added | SSimon | I am sorry, maybe I wasnt clear. @StrongBad what is decision on OP question? Is there will be such a notice? | |
| Jan 30, 2018 at 1:48 | comment | added | StrongBad Mod | @SSimon we now have the above example mentioned post notice. As for how and when mods will use it, it will probably be reserved for the worst case scenarios to make it easier for users to understand why their comments were moved/deleted. I doubt it will change eour behavior much. I tested it out on academia.stackexchange.com/questions/102698/… if you want to ask a new meta question about when it should be used. | |
| Jan 30, 2018 at 1:39 | comment | added | SSimon | @StrongBad is decision made yet? | |

| Jan 29, 2018 at 20:07 | comment | added | StrongBad Mod | @SSimon 12 ppl is a pretty good response for us on meta. Especially when the voting skews to +14/-1. | |
| Nov 11, 2017 at 16:33 | comment | added | Massimo Ortolano | @SSimon I don't know what you have in mind for an "official" poll, but there's no way other than writing a post here to make a poll. People who are interested in the development of the community usually participate in meta. Those who didn't vote probably simply don't care whether this feature is implemented or not. If you look around, you will see that for many other decisions the voting rate is similar. | |
| Nov 11, 2017 at 16:23 | comment | added | SSimon | @MassimoOrtolano I would suggest poll since 12 ppl are not representative of the whole community. | |
| Nov 11, 2017 at 14:22 | comment | added | Massimo Ortolano | @SSimon The title asked a precise question: Do we need a post notice for possibly controversial questions? Two people answered that, yes, it'd be useful to have it, and several other people approved. If you don't want such a notice, write your own answer, explaining your reasons. That's the poll, as "official" as any other meta post. If you want a more explicit, separate poll, write it yourself, but it will be probably closed as duplicate of this one. | |
| Nov 11, 2017 at 10:52 | comment | added | SSimon | @MassimoOrtolano I dont understand? this is official voting??? really? why not polling? it is better.. | |
| Nov 11, 2017 at 9:19 | comment | added | Massimo Ortolano | @SSimon We are already voting. The answers down below are in favour of such a feature: upvote them if you want it implemented; downvote them if you don't. | |
| Nov 11, 2017 at 7:09 | comment | added | SSimon | @barbecue lets vote | |
| Nov 10, 2017 at 21:29 | vote | accept | Massimo Ortolano | ||
| Nov 8, 2017 at 19:49 | comment | added | barbecue | @SSimon no, it's not, but feel free to believe otherwise. | |
| Nov 8, 2017 at 14:19 | comment | added | SSimon | OMG, this is about trigger warnings??? Please DONT, | |
| Nov 6, 2017 at 18:37 | comment | added | Azor Ahai -him- | I would add a note saying why this notice has been added. Something like "In the past, other questions about {race,gender} have been derailed in the comments." | |
