minus-square@over_cloxlinkEnglish-2•1 year agoYou do realize another way to write et al is… et. al. Miss one space, bam, your typo turns into a link these days.
minus-squareDustylinkfedilinkEnglish5•1 year agoThat’s on you, not the internet or google. As has been pointed out, dot al is a TLD for a country. Just because you can’t type properly and didn’t spell check yourself, doesn’t mean the internet is doomed.
minus-square@over_cloxlinkEnglish-4•1 year agoYou make typo, send it to friend, friend clicks link… Is that origin.al or not?
minus-squareBrokkrlinkEnglish3•1 year ago“et” doesn’t need to be abbreviated, it’s a full word. “al.” is short for “alia”. You could argue that typos shouldn’t get turned into links, but there’s simply no good way of stopping that from happening.
minus-square@over_cloxlinkEnglish0•1 year agoYes, yes there most certainly is a way to completely prevent that from ever happening. Get rid of this whole automatic link detecting shit altogether and require the use of https:// before every single link. Believe it or not, that’s how the internet used to work, and we didn’t have stupid shit like attachment.zip
