| Summary | 0003489: Ugly phrasing in SigServer's introduction text | ||||
| Description | Some parts (see attachment) look strange and are hard to understand It would be better replacing it with this text (phrasing suggested by CDB and Belove): "Welcome to the SigServer, [username]. The SigServer allows you to easily keep an up-to-date signature image using AniDB data, for use anywhere. To start using this feature, choose between Simple and Advanced mode. Simple provides you a user friendly interface with predefined images and limited customization. Advanced mode is trickier but opens up vast possibilities. You can always change your mind later on." | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | http://sig.anidb.net/profile/add/ Apparently should not have any mode chosen to see the introduction text | ||||
| Additional Information | Explanation regarding the second sentence by aaabbb: seems to be missing the usual commas or paranthesis for the clause in the middle ([to, in an easy way, keep], or [to (in an easy way) keep], although I would tend to make it [to keep, in an easy way, an], or [to keep (in an easy way) an]), and it is not how one would typically say it in a conversational setting where the [in an easy way] would get tacked onto the end of it instead of shoved into the middle. Explanation regarding revision of the rest of the text by Belove: better to have a comma between "Sigserver" and the username (two proper names run together detracts from readability); should be a comma after "To start using this feature"; "simple and advanced mode" should be "Simple and Advanced mode" since the mode names are proper names/titles and not abstract adjectives; "userfriendly" should be "user friendly"; "opens a vast amount of" should be "opens a vast number of" (number issued for countable things) or maybe better, just "opens up vast" (up is often used when in reference to expanding; number can be dropped here to imply we mean the size of a set). | ||||
