minus-squareBrokkr@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 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-squareover_clox@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0arrow-down1·1 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
