| Dec 11, 2014 at 18:57 | comment | added | 7stud | Change templateURL to templateUrl. My sample answer is a complete sentence. Complete sentences are generally how English speakers communicate. It has a verb: "Change". It has a subject: "templateURL". It has an object: "templateUrl". | |

| Dec 10, 2014 at 22:48 | comment | added | Sam I am says Reinstate Monica | @7stud My sample answer is a complete sentence. Complete sentences are generally how English speakers communicate. It has a verb: "Change". It has a subject: "templateURL". It has an object: "templateUrl". People don't have to guess what it means because it is in plain English | |
| Dec 10, 2014 at 22:42 | comment | added | 7stud | @SamIam, About your sample answer: putting almost identical words in the same sentence does not immediately highlight their differences. However, when you put one word under the other word, it is very easy to compare the words character by character, and easily identify the differences, so I think your answer is LESS clear than my answer. | |
| Dec 10, 2014 at 22:35 | comment | added | 7stud | @SamIam, First of all a typo is when you mean to type one thing and you type another thing. The op did not make a typo--they meant to type "templateURL". Secondly, anyone who says they couldn't understand my answer--after reading the question--is being disingenuous (yes, I am calling them liars). Lastly, if the op had been allowed to read my answer, I am positive they would have known what they did wrong. In my opinion, moderators should not be judging the quality of an answer--that is for the community to decide. | |
| Dec 10, 2014 at 22:28 | comment | added | Sam I am says Reinstate Monica | @7stud You had a chance to improve your answer so that wouldn't get deleted again, and you declined to do so. It wouldn't have been that hard. Just look at the sample I gave you | |
| Dec 10, 2014 at 22:24 | comment | added | Sam I am says Reinstate Monica | @7stud yes, they should be allowed to vote on a post. Your target audience isn't experts at angularJS, at least not on the question in which you posted. Your target audience is beginners. And no special expertise with angular should affect the ability of someone to discern that the answer was about the OP making a typo. | |
| Dec 10, 2014 at 22:11 | comment | added | 7stud | It apparently wasn't self explanatory enough for the 6 people who reviewed it to approve, so it got deleted by vote. Which of those 6 people programs in angularJS? Should a moderator who doesn't understand a technology even be allowed to vote on a post? | |
| Dec 10, 2014 at 22:08 | comment | added | 7stud | Maybe I was going to edit my answer when I had more time? Maybe I was waiting for a moderator to edit my post to make it acceptable? I see people post answers in pig english all the time that are nearly unintelligible, and moderators rewrite the whole answer--before points have been awarded. Why wasn't my post given that chance? | |

| Dec 10, 2014 at 21:45 | comment | added | Servy | The user then undeleted it, and a mod deleted it again. | |
