I just use nice monospace fonts that don't try to look like a typewriter.

For an empty string, the "" is the constant. On 14 May 2014 10:54, Ralph Goers <ralph.go...@dslextreme.com> wrote: Any time your reason for a change ends with “IMO” I would recommend asking first. In this case it seems like hundreds of instances were changed, which would seem to me that the various people who did that thought differently than you.

Are they both right, does one have a typo? It's about communicating intent. Using a constant leaves no room for misinterpretation. Maybe readers that use a giant courier font "see" it differently, but the point of communicating intent still holds IMO.

It is pretty damn obvious what is going on.
