It's just a choice. It means nothing. Conventions are conventions merely because people started doing it that way. If you don't understand, then ask a question.
What exactly is your challenge here?
I think they were asking a question? There isn't a challenge they're doing exactly what you said to do in the correct place to do it lmao.
Aha. I see the confusion now. Oops.
I meant ask a question in response to someone saying "I make 50k", when they mentioned that now they have to guess.
My point is that conventions are arbitrary, different people use different ones, and when someone uses a different one to you, then simply ask to clarify. Then I wondered why this presents a challenge.
That's what I meant.
Ah that makes sense. I see a lot of comments seemingly replying to the wrong comment, I'm on kbin and the comments are pretty clear for me but maybe other instances they are still confusing. Sorry if it seemed like I was coming at you, the incorrect context made your comment seem incredibly hostile for no reason haha. Have a good one man
All good. Indeed, it seemed far more aggressive than I'd intended and utterly clueless once I read it again from that perspective.
