$\begingroup$ @M.A. I don't know if you get notified by comments on posts that you have edited, but will you PLEASE STOP with this prettification for its own sake? Changes should be done if they improve clarity of communication, there is nothing to be gained by editing old posts, and this bumps them to the top of the front page $\endgroup$
