@JonasCz The mere name of a programming language, a program, a type of computer, an operating system, or a kind of phone has no need of monospace, and to use such for it only makes the posting harder to read while serving no other purpose. The balance shifts when you have full expressions, like a function call with arguments: that’s clearly code. However, I’m not convinced mere class names alone unfailingly demand code formatting. Clarity is the goal.

Braiam

on the other hand... OP approved it

@PeterJ zero width char

bjb568

Zero-width space

The zero-width space (ZWSP) is a non-printing character used in computerized typesetting to indicate word boundaries to text processing systems when using scripts that do not use explicit spacing, or after characters (such as the slash) that are not followed by a visible space but after which there may nevertheless be a line break. Normally, it is not a visible separation, but it may expand in passages that are fully justified. == Usage == In HTML pages, the zero-width space can be used as a potential line-break in long words as an alternative to the <wbr> element. However, the zero-width space...

PeterJ

@Braiam Written certainly, or often spoken Brazilian. Lisbon is harder. But I’ve spent a month each working in Brazil and Portugal, and I always insisted on reading their newspapers and such, so it comes quickly enough. The two languages share 94% radical cognates.

It’s just that European Portuguese is a stress-timed language that sounds more Slavic than Romance, so you miscue.

Braiam

There isn't a spanish WP article about isochrony :(

tchrist

That’s amusing in a way.

The vowel-reduction in European Portuguese is much stronger than in American Portuguese.

And of course, doesn’t happen at all in Spanish. Well, in theory.

> A better-documented case of these varying degrees of stress-timing in a language comes from Portuguese. European Portuguese is more stress-timed than the Brazilian standard. The latter has mixed characteristics[22] and varies according to speech rate, sex and dialect. At fast speech rates, Brazilian Portuguese is more stress-timed, while in slow speech rates, it can be more syllable-timed.

Jan Dvorak

influence from their northern neighbours?

tchrist

Heh, I hadn’t read that yet.

@JanDvorak What do you mean?

Jan Dvorak

3:06 PM

They may have learnt from the US english

tchrist

I do not know that we “know” why PT became stress-timed while ES and IT remain syl-la-ble-ti-med.

@JanDvorak Not possible.

My theory though is that American Portuguese remains less stress-timed is because of Spanish influence from surrounding countries. No proof though.

We need to invite a portuguese linguist to the Tavern

Q: Ticker feeds in Chat

The ticker feeds in chat are interesting, but also annoying. One feature that would make them very nice is a fade feature, where they fade away after displaying for N seconds (perhaps even user adjustable). As an example of this, I didn't clear my ticker for a while, and this is what I got:
