Hi! ^_^
Edits
Please don't change hyphens to em or en dashes. It's just easier for everyone. --Funkychinaman (talk) 03:57, 5 June 2014 (EDT)
- Please also don't change x's to multiplication signs. Thanks. --Funkychinaman (talk) 03:59, 5 June 2014 (EDT)
- Why, when all of those are correct punctuation?—DocWatson (talk) 04:40, 5 June 2014 (EDT)
- It just makes it easier for everyone. The vast majority of users wouldn't even know how to create an en dash or multiplication sign. Hyphens and x's are the standard. --Funkychinaman (talk) 05:01, 5 June 2014 (EDT)
- Then let's educate them (creating dashes is not that difficult, and multiplication signs only a little more so), and improve IMFDb by elevating the standards to which we aspire.—DocWatson (talk) 06:45, 5 June 2014 (EDT)
