PROPOSALS ========= PROPOSAL 85XX (Nicer Definitions) AUTHOR: R. Lee CLASS: DEMOCRATIC FOR (5): ATMunn, Falsifian, Gaelan, Murphy, R. Lee AGAINST (0): PRESENT (1): Jason BALLOTS: 6 AI (F/A): 15/0 (AI=3.0) POPULARITY: 0.833 OUTCOME: ADOPTED [ Falsifian: Endorsement of R. Lee ] The full text of each ADOPTED proposal is included below: ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Title: Nicer Definitions Adoption index: 3.0 Author: R. Lee Co-authors: Amend rule 2152, "Mother May I", by replacing "SHOULD NOT, DISCOURAGED, DEPRECATED: Before performing the described action, the full implications of performing it should be understood and carefully weighed." with ""SHOULD NOT, DISCOURAGED, DEPRECATED: Before performing the described action, the full implications of performing it ought to be be understood and carefully weighed." and also by replacing "SHOULD, ENCOURAGED, RECOMMENDED: Before failing to perform the described action, the full implications of failing to perform it should (in the ordinary-language sense) be understood and carefully weighed." with "SHOULD, ENCOURAGED, RECOMMENDED: Before failing to perform the described action, the full implications of failing to perform it ought to be understood and carefully weighed." [Explanation: The word SHOULD is currently defined as meaning the word should. This is not technically recursive because the upper case terms are terms of art, but it looks awful. This proposal means that it becomes "ought to", which just looks better. I also get to remove a terribly clunky parenthetical.] //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
