[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Link at end of answer (61): What is the correct transformation for "in the last three years" in indirect speech (for a particular case)? by Nasir Khan on ell.SE

This is a very interesting answer and from a new contributor.

@EddieKal I just came here after reading that one.

But I don't know why I was hesitating up-voting it.

I read it like three times to understand what is the difference in the sentences.

By the way @EddieKal, I would like to know how you did that, I mean linking the whole post that way so that it is visible in a big box? Does that happen automatically?

@DhanishthaGhosh The answer is not clear and could use some clarification, I think. But the gist is there. There is are nuances in meaning between the two prepositions.

@DhanishthaGhosh You see the share button under the answer? Use that to share the answer

@EddieKal Aha..got it. Thank you so much.

No problem

By the way, I wanted to know one thing, do all answers need to have a detailed explanation? I am no way discouraging the type of answers Void writes, they are just great. But is it always discouraged the other way round? The type of answers I usually write do not have great history and geography, might be they do, just that I don't know it. Does that make it poor somehow?

@DhanishthaGhosh Well, of course analysis-based and evidence-backed answers are highly encouraged. People feel differently about one-liners. My personal policy is that as long as the one-liner answer addresses everything asked in the question, it is fine by me.

For example, let's say the question asks "Can I use this verb with this adverb?" And if the answer is: "Yes. It is idiomatic because blah blah" I am fine with that

But a simple "yes" is not going to cut it. Because there should be at least some form of explanation.

Answers don't always have to be long. Short answers can be good answers too.

@EddieKal I get it. Thank you for the clarification. I just felt bad my answers might not have been delivering the right sense and correctness.

@EddieKal Do you mind changing the spellings of 'success' in this question? It is minor and it won't get accepted because of my rep limit.

@DhanishthaGhosh Done. Thanks for taking notice.

I know it is frustrating when you notice a minor issue in a post but you don't have enough rep to correct it.

I posted several times about how much I disliked the rep restrictions

@EddieKal I got to know that we shouldn't post such questions, especially not on Meta.SE, I got heavy backlashing on one such question I asked a month ago.

@EddieKal Oh by the way, I wanted to know since I am pretty soon crossing the 2K rep mark, will I get +2 points for edits?

I don't think you people get them, since there is no more suggested edits that we do.

@DhanishthaGhosh No. Only suggested edits give you +2 apiece, unfortunately.

@DhanishthaGhosh Yeah, a lot of people feel strongly about defending the current system
