User Profile Semantics

January 19, 2005 8:30 PM

Wording in user profiles seems to be off:

abiku has posted no links 8 comments to MetaFilter
and no threads and no comments to MetaTalk

I believe there should be an "and" in between "links" and "8" on the first line.

I'm still new to interacting with the site as anything other than an unregistered reader (although I've been lurking around the blue for years), so I hope this is proper procedure. I'll gladly accept pointers to additional reading (or newspaper thwaps upside the head) if it's not.

that is weird. maybe it changes after you make your first post? (and this is the right place)

I noticed that before, for some reason didn't think to report it. It seems to only happen sometimes.

I like it that way. Got a terse, military kinda style to it.

I think amberglow is right — it changes after you make your first post.

No, we'd say "Comments, posted to MetaFilter, quantity 8."
