Your link that says "proven" links to a site that asserts it, but shows no proof. Note that I'm not claiming it's not true, maybe it even has been proven, but the site you link to does not do so, nor, as far as I can see, cite such a proof.
Anyway, the texts you quote are from literary works, ther... (more) |

Ah, thanks. There seem to be no shortcuts related to editing, though, therefore they also cannot fail in that case. But I noticed one unrelated problem: With "go to category" (g c), only the category list seems to work (g c c), not the individual categories (like g c 1). (more) |

Actually up to now I wasn't even aware of the existence of keyboard shortcuts. I found the option to enable them in the preferences, but I can't find any description of what shortcuts are available. (more) |

Thank you. BTW, what is the quickest way to get up to date with what happened in the mean time? (more) |

Thanks for the reply. Actually I'm a laptop user, so I can both tap (on the touchpad) and click (on the “mouse” buttons below the touchpad). So that workaround works. A keyboard-only workaround is, of course, to just add the corresponding MarkDown manually. (more) |

A false belief still can have very real consequences. Consequences that don't simply go away after you learn that your belief was false. (more) |

For both. Having the reader know is great for a danger the protagonist doesn't know, but I don't think it helps building up tension if the reader already knows that the danger the protagonist believes to be in is actually *not* there. (more) |

Thank you for the answer. The main reason I don't want to introduce the second viewpoint immediately is that at the beginning, the first protagonist expects that second protagonist to be a likely antagonist. I want to keep that uncertainty about her for some time. If I switched to her viewpoint early... (more) |

Thank you for your answer. Besides Mistborn, do you have any other suggestions of novels that did introduce a new viewpoint very well? (more) |

Thank you. So if I understand correctly, “are a-coming” is sort of a double-continuous form. (more) |

What is the difference between “coming” and “a-coming”? I've never before encountered that word.
On the design: That was definitely a good change! (more) |

I think a preview button (like on Wikipedia) would be an solution that could be implemented much quicker than an SE-like live preview. (more) |

@ArtOfCode: I'm still not convinced that this is how it works (note also that Stack Exchange *cannot* override copyright law, and the authors don't transfer copyright to SE, they just provide the content to the company under the CC license). Maybe it makes sense to ask an actual lawyer. (more) |

But in case of an edit history there is **more than one author.** Note that the quote you did explicitly uses the plural, “author name**s**”. Every contributor who did significant modifications is an author. (more) |
