| Mar 8, 2013 at 8:41 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | So you say that "constructor" is inline code? Should we backtick any reserved word? Sorry, but I disagree. Too many backticked parts render a post unreadable. I would have rejected such edit as "invalid edit" not too minor or explain in custom message about the excessive use of inline code for stuff that is NOT code. | |

| Mar 8, 2013 at 6:00 | comment | added | Dmitry Minkovsky | @RobertHarvey: I definitely am... I try not to, for the reason you point out. Also, people seem more likely to reject when you edit code! But then, what is a substantive edit, if people want more than just punctuation and formatting fixes? Anyway, in this case, the code changes I made to OP's question weren't substantive to the question or his problem. | |

Appreciate it, Harvey. I'm not so much into the 2 points. Instead, I like to fix missing apostrophes and non-backticked inline code. The latter really kills me the most. Also, there were several code errors: for example, a reference to a constructor that was written as a constructor invocation. Foo is not Foo().
