| Mar 6, 2013 at 11:29 | comment | added | paulseys | Yes I agree that it doesn't have a massive impact on the user experience, although my opinion was that the latter was slightly more jarring. Also, the users of the app are predominantly analytical people so unfortunately are likely to spot questionable grammar! | |
| Mar 6, 2013 at 11:12 | comment | added | Chris | The only problem with the user experience here would be if the user was dogmatic about their grammar, and they'd have to be pretty dogmatic if this bothered them. Either is fine in my opinion, both have been used for years. Im keen to see if there even is a grammatically correct way to do this. | |
