I don’t take this personally, and I understand your intention isn’t to attack or belittle. To keep our exchange enjoyable and productive, I’ll make an effort to be more attentive to spelling, terminology, and precision. That said, I’m generally less concerned with exact spelling or perfect terminology, since my focus is usually on parsing the meaning or reasoning behind a theory or criticism. I try to be as charitable as possible in interpreting what someone is trying to say, focusing on the intended idea rather than the precise wording. Still, I recognize that clarity of wording may matter more to others—especially in discussions—so I’ll do my best to be more precise.

I think this is off-topic because my carelessness that caused my typos had no effect on my choice of new terminology. (Derived from your suggestion in #1808)

Great, looks like you learned something new. You’ve found a bit of truth :)

@dennis-hackethal Damn. I didn't know that. But if I understand it, 'few' means not many, and 'a few' means something like five or 6. I have a few close friends.

As of acb14e3, the revision button is an icon button that lives next to the collapse icon button.

Therefore, the button doesn’t need to be hidden anymore.

Done as of acb14e3.

The idea is not good if it has outstanding criticisms.

Don’t worry about which ideas are better than others. That’s a remnant of justificationism. Only go by whether an idea has outstanding criticisms.

You’ve since made the change to “a few changes” (as of #1894) but I think that change was premature.

Don’t make changes you don’t understand. Take questions literally and answer them.

No.

I went over it first and made a few changes. After that, Grammarly recommended that I remove the 'a' before 'criticism' and to remove the 'they are'.

This comment doesn’t belong here. It should have been a comment on #1885. And you shouldn’t have removed #1885. I’ll recover it.

What if, at that time, the best idea one has is the false idea?

It could go both ways. Someone may have already read an idea and just wants to revise it, in which case having to scroll to the bottom is cumbersome.

Then the autofocus on the textarea would force a scroll basically to the bottom of the page. For sufficiently long ideas, that means scrolling past content the user wants to see.

… made few changes.

Did you mean to say ‘a few changes’?
Do you know what the difference is?

When it has received criticism and until the current criticism is resolved, that idea is seen as false.

‘The idea is considered false until all criticism is resolved.’

We accept that idea as true until it has received criticism.

‘until it receives criticism’

Cool. As discussed privately, I think you’d benefit from working on spelling and grammar.

Try pasting #1874 into Grammarly and revising the idea based on the improvements Grammarly suggests. (Don’t blindly accept word substitutions! Make sure any edits still make sense in the context of how Veritula works.)

Pasting anything you write into Grammarly before you submit it is probably a good policy to adopt in general.

There is a typo in "[i]t has a tpyo."

Could probably use Turbo frames instead.

There could be a separate button to filter comments down.

… must be their its own.

You’ve introduced a new typo. You should get in the habit of carefully reviewing your texts before you submit them.

If you change “Each idea and criticism, even if they are related must be their its own” to ‘Ideas (including criticisms) should generally be submitted separately even if related’, you get to address both current criticisms.
