Blahs[]

What's with the blahs? They're distracting and offensive. If they're supposed to denote a duplication of something that's already been said wouldn't it be better to say "As above", or similar?--Archer4real (talk) 16:56, December 18, 2017 (UTC)

It was in place of 'lorem ipsum' text by the looks of it. -- sulfur (talk) 17:18, December 18, 2017 (UTC)
I'm not exactly sure why it's offensive, unless "blah" is some sort of pejorative with which I'm unfamiliar... ;) Those lines should probably be replaced with real examples from an article to better illustrate the various styles being documented. -- Renegade54 (talk) 22:09, December 18, 2017 (UTC)

It's offensive to me; something patronizing about it, at least to me – and it's lazy, as you've virtually admitted--Archer4real (talk) 09:56, December 19, 2017 (UTC)

I think that you confunse "offensive" with annoying.
Either way, I've changed it to random lorem ipsum text. It could be changed to real wording, but sometimes people get far too caught up with copying the real wording rather than the style of the surrounding. -- sulfur (talk) 11:13, December 19, 2017 (UTC)
