| Aug 31, 2011 at 6:06 | comment | added | Lance Roberts | @Jeff, I'm not sure why you don't have sympathy for foreign language users, but having attempted a few times to learn foreign languages, I understand the pain of not getting the idiom. (And I can be a little dense with English also). | |

@lance you cannot seriously be arguing that "see http://example.com" is in any way unclear in the meaning of "here is a link, click it for more detail". If you want to save the world, go for it, but I hope you blocked off the rest of your life. I have more productive things, and more useful users, to attend to before I die.

| Aug 31, 2011 at 4:41 | comment | added | Lance Roberts | @jeff, "See" is a particular English idiom that doesn't necessarily communicate to all foreign users "Click here". | |
| Aug 31, 2011 at 4:14 | comment | added | Jeff Atwood | as @josh noted this already exists. And as you can plainly see, it doesn't work (or at least works only a small percent of the time), since these types of users won't read anything you put in front of them. | |
