Locked. No further comments permitted.PSA. How to properly use the ^ symbol.
Feb 10 2020 02:21AM more by GinaGalaxy
Tags: San Diego , Technical Site Stuff (All tags)

I see often lately

User commenting with the "^"

When using

One "^" you are commenting/referring to/pointing out the comment above (1 above)

"^^" equal 2 comment directly above the comment your using the symbol on


And then 3 of these "^^^" means 3 comment above your comment.

And so forth

I was reading blogs and seeing ppl jus dropping it in as in

"Look above" but misdirecting me where to look.


And for fun

O.P = Original Poster = who created the blog




Happy Blogging!

^^^Good to know.

^^Yes.

^We’ll find out.

^^^This is so efficient, but let’s say I want to respond to ten messages above mine. “^^^^^^^^^^” won’t cut it. How about “^10”? Maybe it just better to address the writer directly with a “@“, like in “@GinaGalaxy....that’s a good idea!”

I don't understand the need to use the @ symbol.

@GinaGalaxy....that's a good idea
GinaGalaxy....that's a good idea

Doesn't that mean the same thing?

Doesn't the version without the at just sound better?



@Night-Rider, I love David Haselhoff, how about you

Night-Rider, I love David Hasselhoff, how about you

Night-Rider, I love @David Hasselhoff, how about you

@Night-Rider, I love @David Hasselhoff, how about you


Which do you prefer? I like the one with no @s at all. I don't think the @s add anything.

The @ symbol

Means who you are about to direct a comment to..

@alphabet (I think that mjmjmjmj nickname)
Thank you for point out the @ symbol I was going to mention it but thought people knew it from Twitter.


When you use the @ symbol on Twitter it is apart of there user name so if i said

@donaldtrump you go boy it will show on my feed

I'm not sure it shows up on theres. But it turns into a clickable link to there page.

If I use the

@symbol on tiktok app.


It will turn into a hyperlink to that person profile
Ex

@ginagalaxy u can click it to go directly to my profile.

@nightrider

I say you never wanna go more than

^^^ above

You would then use the @ symbol to who ur mentioning

@nightrider ^ (u can even use the ^ signalling the person to look up for there name above in comments) even not directly above


By the way

This is just nomenclature

I think that's the first time I ever used that word in my life. Lol

However other people comment while ur writing your
@goballsdeep then oh well.


@mjmjmj

When using the @ symbol its easier for someone to speed read and see who the comment is regarding then dropping a name mid sentence. Or in the beginning.

But it's also very generational

And your exposure to the internet


I use to use America online in the 90s

I'm chat rooms

I totally abuse the caret symbol ( ^ ) because I'm a Rabbit

🥕🥕🥕🥕 🐇

I might be wrong but I thought that the link function, if used properly... could take the reader to any specific post of any blog rather than using these smoke signals with the Caret symbol. And yes... theres always people jumping in ahead if your not brief anyways.

I see people even in the professional workplace using the @-prefix in email to call out people with questions or comments. It's an Insta thing.

Lol the only proper use I know of is to indicate a superscript of some sort, when there is no fancy formatting available. It’s how you input exponents on older sci calcs. Like n^4.

So I guess I learned something new today. However, now I do wonder why the same general idea wouldn’t work for blog threads. Like ^3 being three comments above. Seems less cumbersome this way. That’s it. I’m starting the trend.

to comments above...

after putting you ^ in .
and some1 does sneak in.

you can always signal who your ^ is too with a @symbol or there name.


using the ^
helps someone count up where to look at / reference your comment back to etc.
