Here's an example of a question which can't really have a good title because it's not a good question:

> Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy whips out his phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps, "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator says "Calm down. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead."

Q: Should we have a migration path to ELL?

I know that this has been discussed before but, at the time, it was not possible since ELL was still in beta. Now that it has graduated and has had its first mod elections and everything, it might be time to reconsider the question. If we do choose to have one, we should also set up some clear ...

Portuguese does syllable-reduction like English or French. Spanish does not. That means you only hear at most one stressed syllable per word (and sometimes less), and that you really don't hear much of the other syllables, which are much shorter and with neutralized vowels.

2. Determine what a response that demonstrates achievement of that outcome would look like
3. Devise an answer that will elicit that response, if and only if the outcome has been achieved.

It's funny that even after I accidentally clicked on "Leave Close" (because I was thinking of "Leave Open"), I was still able to correct my action by clicking "reopen". :-)

We should ignore him... don't engage at all other than to do voting stuff, close voting/down voting and flagging. Don't comment.

Well I haven't voted on any of the answers, but one of the candidates doesn't have the reasoning a mod should have. No doubt.

I mean, I think many users try to help out so far because it's clear that J.R. mostly does the moderation alone.

At a minimum, we can see they're not basic ellipsis, because ellipsis doesn't result in changed word forms
