Let's fix these grammatical errors (Website suggestion)

OK, I was browsing my test account, and I noticed something strange on the userpage. I have made only one comment on that account, and it reads this:

http://i47.tinypic.com/28hda9y.jpg

I was a little puzzled by this, so I logged back into my main account. I then noticed the same thing with my ignore list...

I think it should be "1 user", not "1 users", don't you? Same goes for "1 comments". I know this is only a minor change, but I get fussy over grammar sometimes  tongue  Thanks for reading.  smile

I don't support. It would be too much work. Of course, I wouldn't even be doing the work... but either way, its still a lot of work just for that

That's what, 2 lines of PHP? I think that is a great idea.

Re: Let's fix these grammatical errors (Website suggestion)

Thats cool!

Hmm...

Code:

if ($USRCOMMENTSNUM = 1)
{
    echo $USRCOMMENTNUM . "comment.";
}
else
{
    echo $USRCOMMENTNUM . "comments.";
}
// Now for the ignore list
if ($USRIGNORENUM = 1)
{
    echo $USRIGNORENUM . "user.";
}
else
{
    echo $USRIGNORENUM . "users";
}

Or something like that would work

Two lines!

But what I'm saying is, why do 2 lines more of PHP when you can do 0 more lines of PHP instead?

2 lines is nothing. Plus, the first line is almost exactly the same as the other one  smile

I'm assuming that the user profile system of the ScratchR platform are built with includes, so easy editing... yeah... that's about 2 more lines of PHP

Yeah. But as a programmer, I like to make my commands multiple lines.

If you don't care about it, then why don't you just leave it alone while people who actually do care change it themselves?

Yeah.

I believe "Uploaded now ago" USED to say "Uploaded 0 minutes ago" , or maybe my memory is bad. Why did the Scratch Team change it? (If I have a good memory)

Actually, I think they fixed that one! They got rid of the 'ago' so it makes more sense. Or maybe I'm thinking of what it says next to a new comment.
