Or in my case, people for whom English is a second language, or have low education levels.

Saying, "who can't understand..." is arrogant, selfish, and an example of why normal people hate people in the SV echo chamber.

cestmaconfig.txt vs cest ma config.txt vs cest_ma_config.txt

It's the same in any language.

Hugs who hurt you.

I'm also pretty sure most of us in any language use Slack, SMS or other forms of communication where text isn't necessarily presented in a grammatical correct manner and we all figure out what the person is saying.

Exactly how I feel every time Economics is brought up on HN.

SV echo chamber is on your side here - it is very in vogue to denounce anglocentrism. they were defending hieroglyphs and emoji in variable names in that thread about invisible javascript backdoor a day or two ago if you'd like a recent example

  • Could you please stop posting ideological battle comments to HN? We ban accounts that do that, regardless of their ideology, because it's (a) not what this site is for, and (b) destroys what it is for.

    If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

    • Agreed.

      But Hacker News should do something about all of the anti-bitcoin and anti-anti-nuclear ideologies running around in here.

      I don't really mind it that much but it'd be nice, it's really the only 2 extremisms I've experienced here, all other subjects are discussed in a fair manner.
