Changing my post from the way I wrote it and intended it to be consumed actually bothers me quite a bit. In addition to manipulating human-to-human communications, this could be problematic when talking about technical topics where capitalisation changes the meaning, such as a post titled “undefined is the best built-in property of the global object”. I wouldn’t want to make such a statement about the non-existent property “Undefined”!
P.S. I intentionally capitalised “Discourse” in the title of this post.
Yes please! That sounds perfect. A recommendation pop-up would have been fine, but silently and automatically changing it from what I wrote, with no way to override, is not cool.
I went through the settings and tried to make posting as unrestricted as possible without entirely sacrificing the benefits that discourse provides. this will be a work in progress—if we decide Discourse is fussing in a disagreeable way down the line, we can reassess too.
