Punctuation: Don't put spaces around the slash when denoting single-word alternatives: `one/two` instead of `one / two`
The title says it all.
Writing one/two
instead of one / two
is common practice, and is also more readable if the alternatives one
and two
consist of only one word.
idk I think its much easier to read when there is "one / two"
Well, different people have different preferences. I just stated what the general consensus seems to be.
Personally, I find one/two
instead of one
/ two
more readable. Maybe just because I'm used to it (since it's common practice), and seeing the lesser used variant confuses/irritates me for a second, since I'm not used to that.
@camoz is right, one/two
states here the alternative between the two words, but writing one / two
in a sentence isn't easy to understand because it may confuse the reader about the binding between words, the reader may get confused if the choice is between the neighboring words or the two part of sentence.
If the case is convincing, I would like to submit the pull request for the same.
You can submit a pull request for this but please keep it to just changing this. The issue with past proposals is they changed too much and some was not wanted so it didn't get merged.
