Thread's closed!

I am not a 'grammar nazi' nor do I have English as a native language, but I noticed this;

When using the "Roll 1:20" feature of the Conversation you will see that the first number is "quoted" and the other number is 'quoted'.

Is there a reason for it or is it just some accidental typo made when the feature was released?

I just saw you do this I thought to myself the same thing

Yes, it was noticeable when I did it, but I am unsure if it has some purpose I am not aware of.

Did any number spin out I’m assuming it’s a random number generator. That’s pretty nice tbh you can live stream HF giveaways while in convo.

I know what the feature does my man, but I am wondering why 1 number is "quoted" and the other number is 'quoted' like that.

Stanley loves to vary things I guess

Yes, I think so.
Perhaps Xerotic knows more about this.

Well sometimes when developing, developers use " and ' in some places. That's probably just a small typo in terms of consistency and nothing more.

They are both correct but only one should be used.

this is pretty humiliating. you gotta make up your mind at first init if you're using single or double quotes.

That does make sense, a typo is easy to fix I assume but not sure if it’s “worth it”.

Since when is a typo humiliating? Don’t be like that.

They are both correct. Yet, you need to only use one of them for good code practice.

For example
var = "This is a var with a 'quote' that will show the quotation marks around the word quote";

That wouldn't work if all the quotation marks where " or '.

I bet Xero used ' and in the other var he used ".
So it's just bad practice, not really a bug :P

... Can we now go back to on-topic typo about the Roll feature? ✌🤣

No, sorry for that my man. I edited that with "Inspect Element" so we could discuss the Roll-feature typo again haha.
I thought you would figure out, my bad.

Will send this thread in a PM to Xerotic, so he may check that out if he got time.

RE: "Roll 1:20" message from Stanley typo or on purpose? - Omniscient - May 10, 2020

I'll ask Xerotic to fix. It should just be "between 1 and 20" without quoting each number.
