Semantic Wording About Favorites

August 1, 2006 10:57 AM

On the user profile page, the "# of comments marked by others as a favorite" is incorrectly worded. I think that the wording should be changed to something like, "# of times contributions by 'user x' were saved by others" instead. Or is it possible to snip the dupes and only include the unique posts and comments that were favorited (in the # itself)? I read this thread, but it didn't seem to discuss the language I'm referring to.

Or how about:

"contributions from user x were saved by others y times"

Does the phrase "anal retentive" have hyphen? ;)

I totally agree.

Also, the number of my contributions which have been marked as a favorite are too low. People are obviously using them to bookmark and not to vote, and this should be remedied.
