 My Review Mentions Another ISP; The ISP's Name is Red

»Review of Charter Pipeline by beta user

I'm assuming this is supposed to happen (TWC is in red)? How's come?

If memory serves, the text in red is only visible to the author and is there to indicate a spelling error. If you log out and view the same page, the text should all be the same color.

I don't believe the reviews share the site dictionary (the one used in the forums) so it's telling you that TWC is a misspelled word.

Huh. That's kind of unusual - a spell check on something that has already posted. But I suppose this site is about HSI, so it wants the reviews to look... well, to not look so bad.

Isn't it odd, though, to spell check an acronym/initialism?




Anywho, thanks!

You could test it by editing TWC to Time-Warner Cable. That would indicate any other significance other than a "spell check" misinterpretation. Or not.

That fits.

I went back and looked at my old review, where I mentioned that it was a final review since I was moving to uverse. Sure enough, both "youtube" and "uverse" appear in red. However, when looking at it when not logged in I do not see any red.

(add in edit) In my newer review for uverse, both "VRAD" and "RG" appear in red.

I'm not sure what you mean.

Spell it out instead of using the acronym. It's no big thing... just a thought.
